After replacing Rudi Garcia with Walter Mazzarri as head coach, the Neapolitans immediately beat Atalanta. However, further developments showed that the team's problem differed from the coach's. Napoli lost five of their next seven games. Although they reached the Champions League playoffs, they went down to seventh place in the Italian league.
Another failure occurred to the Neapolitans in the final round. On the road against Roma, the Southerners, with difficulty, created dangerous moments that did not score. Finally, they conceded twice in the second half - 0:2. The team will have to operate with a significantly weakened attacking line in the match with Monza.
Monza
They only lost three games in the first 13 rounds of the championship, but in the next four, they lost three times - by mid-season, Raffaele Palladino's team began to lose momentum and positions. Monza has dropped to 11th place in the Serie A standings.
On the eve of the Naples match, Monza has two consecutive defeats with a win to nil. First, Monza were defeated away by Milan 0:3, and in the previous round, they failed to cope with Fiorentina on their home field - 0:1.
Expert Betting Tips
Monza has failed to score in two consecutive games, but they have been creating chances. In the upcoming match, Napoli will surely have chances to distinguish themselves again. This time, Monza will likely take advantage of them. Besides, the odds on the Bianconeri to pick up points in Naples are overvalued. Napoli are not playing like a pro this season, regularly losing even to outsiders, and will not be able to count on Victor Osimena in the match against Monza.
