Napoli vs Monza prediction 2023-12-29
Napoli will be looking to rectify their recent 2-0 defeat to AS Roma as they face Monza in Serie A's 18th round. The Neapolitans have not been in top form, having lost three of their last four league matches. New manager Walter Mazzarri is undoubtedly feeling the pressure leading up to the Monza clash. Victor Osimhen and Matteo Politano will be unavailable due to suspensions, and Stanislav Lobotka, Natan Souza, Elif Elmas, and Mathias Olivera are still in the recovery phase. Given the numerous absentees in Walter Mazzarri's squad, a home victory should not be expected.
On the other hand, Biancorossi has experienced a downturn, losing to both AC Milan and Fiorentina in their last two league matches. Nevertheless, a draw seems likely at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as Napoli faces the fixture with a significantly weakened team. For the away side, both Dario Gomez and Pablo Mari Villar will be unavailable due to suspension.
Prediction: 1-1 draw
Expert: Footballpredictions - website.
The Nigerian could have played in this fixture, but both he and Matteo Politano were sent off at the Olimpico and will serve bans, reducing Napoli’s attacking options here. They are also dealing with a raft of injuries.
Monza are a middling team away from home, but will sense an opportunity to claim a famous result against the reigning champions. They beat Napoli 2-0 at their U-Power Stadium home last May to avenge a 4-0 away defeat in Naples when the home side were in their title-winning pomp.
The value appears to be in backing the away side to avoid defeat in this clash as Napoli are in no shape to make this look like an easy task.
Prediction: A 1-1 draw could be the outcome given two of Monza’s last six away assignments have finished that way.

The Legendary SSC Napoli
Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli, fondly known as SSC Napoli or simply Napoli, is a professional Italian football team based in Naples, Campania. The club was officially founded in 1926, and it was a journey marked with ambition and determination that has seen Napoli become a significant figure in Italian football.

Monza's key milestones include their Serie B restitutions, their first being in the 1951-1952 season and their presence in the tier for a good part of the late 20th century. It stands testament to the team’s consistent approach towards maintaining their standing in the league, irrespective of multiple challenges.
Monza, emboldened by a potent mixture of old and new philosophies, trends, and schemes, started climbing the ladder, reaching Serie B in the year 2020. Despite the competitive nature of the games, the team still remains a formidable force in Italian football, constantly evolving and adapting to the ever-changing dynamics of the sports industry.

While Napoli holds a greater share of accolades in Italian football, it is precisely the perseverance and constant evolution that sets Monza apart. Both teams represent the diverse spectrum of Italian football — Napoli illustrates the glamour and widespread popularity, while Monza embodies the grit and tenacity of smaller, but equally significant teams.
