August 25, 2024 2:45 - Serie A action resumes as Monza host Genoa.
Monza drew their first match of the new season on the road against Empoli, and have not won in the last 4 matches, the team's competitive status seems to be in the doldrums. Although Monza's recent home record is quite good, undefeated in the past 3 home matches, including a draw with Sassuolo in a friendly match, the team still needs to strengthen its ability to win. Last season, Monza achieved 6 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses at home and ranked 14th in the league, but they failed to win their 4 home matches at the end of the season and lost 4 in a row, so their home advantage was not fully utilized.
In contrast, Genoa showed excellent form in its first match of the new season, drawing 2-2 at home against defending champion Inter Milan, and the team's fighting spirit and strength should not be underestimated. Genoa's recent overall form has been quite good, with 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the past 10 matches, continuing the strong performance of the end of last season, and the team's morale is booming.
At present, the data for Monza's support appears to be more cautious, despite the fact that Monza beat Genoa in both meetings last season, but the concession of this duel is significantly lower, which reflects the outside world's concern about the current state of Monza.
Considering Genoa's recent good form and morale, Genoa is expected to take the match on the road in this encounter.
Verdict: Genoa win
