The appointment of Alessandro Nesta as the head coach of the Red-Whites initially looked like a questionable move, and the bet on the newcomer didn't work out. The choice of Salvatore Bocchetti as the new head coach also seems to be a very strange decision, and the first game after the reshuffle confirmed the fears. Monza met away with Parma, was left in the minority at the beginning of the second half after the removal of Pablo Mari and missed with a penalty. Then the team from Lombardy got back on 88 minutes, but did not hold the draw. 1:2 - the decisive goal flew into the gates of Monza at 90+8.
Thus, the Red-Whites suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in Serie A and strengthened their status as the last team in the championship. After 18 rounds, Monza have only one win and only ten points, and the gap from the saving 17th place is already six points.
Cagliari
The team is also in the relegation zone, but in 18th place and only two points behind the 17th place. In addition, we should not forget that Cagliari are led by Davide Nicola, who seems to have never been out of Serie A.
At the same time, Cagliari, like Monza, have a losing streak of four consecutive league matches. In the previous round Sardinians expectedly lost on their own field without a chance to Inter (0:3), but before that lost one of the most important matches of the season, on the road lost to a direct competitor in the fight for survival - Venezia (1:2).
Also, from the game characteristics we note that Cagliari has one of the worst attacks this season. Islanders scored only 16 goals. Genoa and Monza have the same number, and only Lecce have scored less in the current championship - 11.

Expert Betting Tips
Monza has only one win in 18 rounds of the championship, but Cagliari won only three times in this segment, and away and at all 1 out of 8 with five defeats. In the first game under Salvatore Bocchetti the White-Red showed good football, beat Parma on expected goals - 1.97 to 1.44, and defeat was not deserved. Accordingly, the luck in the upcoming match may be on the side of Monza. We bet here on the hosts, and also do not expect a large number of goals scored - the teams among the worst in terms of offensive efficiency in the current Italian championship will play against each other.
