Monza vs Cremonese Prediction and Betting Tips | March 18th 2023
Monza will host Cremonese at the U-Power Stadium on Saturday in another round of the Italian Serie A campaign.
The home side have had mixed results this season but continue to push for the top half of the table. They were held to a 1-1 draw by struggling Hellas Verona in their last league outing, falling behind early after the restart before Stefano Sensi leveled the scores from close range.
Monza sit 12th in the league table with 33 points picked up so far and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this weekend.
Cremonese, meanwhile, have endured a difficult return to the Italian top flight and now find themselves in the drop zone at the business end of the season. They were beaten 2-0 by Fiorentina last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game but failed to convert their chances.
The visitors sit 19th in the Serie A with just 12 points from 26 matches. They will aim to return to winning ways this weekend and begin picking up important points to avoid the drop.
