Cagliari vs. Monza: Match Prediction
Recently, Davide Nicola's side has improved their scoring ability and has become more consistent at home: in the last five league matches, Cagliari players failed to breach the defense only against Juventus and scored eight goals during this period. At the same time, the team has not performed well defensively, managing to keep a clean sheet in only two of their last 24 home Serie A matches.
Monza does not excel in defense and regularly makes costly errors at the back. The team struggles particularly on the road: in their last seven away Serie A matches, the club has conceded at least twice, and their defense has been breached 12 times in their last three away games. However, the team is capable of delivering offensively: in 7 of their last 9 away league matches, Monza players have scored, and in their last away game, they managed to score twice against the league leaders, Inter.
I expect both teams to find the net, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
