Ever since Daniele De Rossi took over Roma the team has picked itself up and is more attacking-minded. But now they must face a tough Monza team who is also in good spirits and playing their best football at home. What we can expect here is a tough battle for both outfits.
Monza Team News
Firmly in the middle of the pack, Monza will survive this season and be part of next year’s Serie A. Recent form for the team has been more than good – 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 Serie A games. At home, Monza is also enjoying a 3-game undefeated streak, having recorded 1 draw and 2 victories. Typically, I Biancorossi don’t play games with many goals in them, as evidenced by the fact that just 1 of their last 5 games has featured over 2.5 goals. Even more impressive is that Monza has managed 4 clean sheets in those fixtures. The only place they conceded was at home to another top 6 side – Milan.
AS Roma Team News
With an upcoming Europa League fixtures on the horizon, Roma’s calendar is stacked. However, they will take this game seriously as the top 4 is just 4 points away. In Serie A, I Giallorossi are also in good form, having 4 wins in their last 5 games and only losing to Inter. What could be uplifting for the team is that they recorded their first back-to-back away league wins this season after the 0-3 trashing against Frosinone. But ever since De Rossi took the helm in Roma, the team has started playing more attackingly with all of I Giallorossi’s last 5 Serie A games seeing over 2.5 goals.
Head-to-Head-Games
Monza are yet to record a win over Roma in the head-to-head games. The two teams have met a total of 3 times with Roma having won 2 of those games and Monza reaching a draw in the remaining one. In that home draw we can find the only goal that the team has ever scored against Roma.

Monza – AS Roma Betting Prediction
Despite the unfavourable head-to-head games I will go with both teams to score here. For starters, Monza is predominantly a home team that managed to score regularly as hosts. On the other hand, we have Roma, who will be looking to keep their top 4 hopes alive here. To me that looks like 2 teams that will be looking for the win here and that only comes through scoring.
