Monza vs Lazio Prediction
Monza are currently 13th in the standings and have won one of their last five league games. They are four points behind eighth-placed Udinese and must be applauded for doing well this season.
They did not hesitate to spend money following their promotion, acquiring players like Matteo Pessina and Stefano Sensi. Their ambitions were headlined when they were linked with Paulo Dybala and Mauro Icardi, with fans of Serie A fully aware of Silvio Berlusconi's persona.
Lazio, on the other hand, are second in the league, 19 points behind leaders Napoli. Manager Maurizio Sarri endured much-maligned spells with Chelsea and Juventus before moving to Lazio, and the 64-year-old seems to have found a club to thrive at again.
While dethroning Napoli is near impossible, qualifying for Champions League football would be a huge success for the club as it could potentially help them retain the services of stars like Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Lazio have done well this season despite the limited impact of star striker Ciro Immobile, who has scored, by his usual lofty standards, only nine goals this season in 18 starts.
Lazio are in a good run of form and should emerge victorious here.
Prediction: Monza 0-1 Lazio
