Monza vs Genoa Prediction & Match Preview

Monza vs Genoa Match Preview

Genoa stunned defending champions Inter Milan by holding them to a 2-2 draw on the opening day of the 2024/25 season.

They will look to build on this result as the Grifoni travel to U-Power Stadium to battle Monza in Matchday No 2 on Saturday evening.

Genoa showed character in the first round against the toughest of rivals despite having a horrendous transfer window during the summer.

The Grifoni lost their main star Mateo Retegui and their manager Alberto Gilardino will likely have to bid farewell to Albert Gudmundsson who was not in the roster against the Nerazzurri.

Monza also began the new season with a lot of uncertainties and a new manager Alessandro Nesta.

They played a goalless stalemate away at Empoli last weekend, delivering no more than four attempts, one of which was on target.

Monza vs Genoa Prediction

Monza played ultra-defensive in Nesta’s first game in charge last Saturday. They also played a goalless draw in the other competitive game, beating lower-division Sudtirol on penalties in the first round of the Coppa Italia two weeks ago.

Genoa did bag two goals against Inter Milan but they by no means possess a deadly attacking line.

After all, they have also barely gone past lower-division Reggiana two weeks ago with a 1-0 win at the start of the Coppa Italia campaign.

Three of the last four competitive H2H encounters between these counterparts finished with fewer than three goals scored.

We will back the Under 2.5 goals bet at the odds of 1.66 while the 1-1 correct score pick looks like an attractive option at the 6.00 odds.
