Team Analysis
Roma is currently in good form, having secured five victories in their last eight matches, including a recent win against Parma. They are only a few points away from the Champions League spots and will be eager to capitalize on their home advantage. The only notable absence for Roma is Artem Dovbyk due to injury, but the team boasts a deep bench to mitigate this.
AC Monza, under the management of Alessandro Nesta, has struggled this season and sits at the bottom of the table. Their recent draw against Lecce marked a minor improvement, but they have not won a match in a significant amount of time. Monza's defense has been shaky, often conceding two or more goals per game, and they will be without key defender Armando Izzo due to suspension.
Head-to-Head
Historically, AS Roma has dominated the matchup against Monza, winning three out of their last five encounters. Notably, Monza has yet to secure a victory against Roma in the 21st century. Their previous meeting this season ended in a 1-1 draw, which may provide some confidence for Monza, but Roma's overall record suggests a clear advantage.
Prediction
Given the current form of both teams, Roma is expected to secure a comfortable victory. Monza's struggles in both attack and defense make it unlikely that they will score against a solid Roma side. Therefore, a prediction of Roma winning without conceding seems realistic, with a final score forecast of 3-0. The suggested option is Roma to win with a handicap of -1.5, reflecting their superiority in this matchup.
