Monza suffered their first defeat in four games in their previous outing. They conceded a goal apiece in either half, falling to a 2-0 home defeat to Lazio. They are in 13th place in the league table and a win might help them climb to 12th place at the expense of Sassuolo.

Udinese vs Monza Prediction

The Friulani suffered their first defeat in five games last week and will be looking to bounce back in this home tie. They have failed to score in their last two games and have also kept two clean sheets in that period. Interestingly, they are winless against their eastern rivals at home since 1975 and suffered a 3-2 defeat in the Coppa Italia in October.

The Brianzoli have kept two clean sheets in their last four away games and have failed to score in just one of their last six away games. There's not much to separate the two teams in terms of form at the moment and a low-scoring draw seems to be the likely outcome.

Prediction: Udinese 1-1 Monza
