When Monza faces Sassuolo, the signs are pointing to a goal-fest, especially with the line set at over 1.5. Monza’s recent home form has been a struggle, yet they’ve consistently conceded goals, averaging 2.8 against in their last five home matches. Sassuolo, while not in stellar form themselves, have shown they can find the net, averaging 1.6 goals in their last five games.

Even with their recent woes, they’ve been creating opportunities, averaging over 12 shots per game at home.

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As Monza prepares to host Sassuolo, the stats tell a compelling story. Monza’s home form has been dismal, with no wins in their last five at home, averaging just 0.8 goals while conceding a staggering 2.8. Their inability to find the net is stark, reflected in an xG of zero in recent games. Meanwhile, Sassuolo has shown resilience, with a balanced recent away record of 2-1-2, scoring an average of 1.6 goals per match. The historical matchup also favors Sassuolo, who boasts a 3-1-0 record against Monza in their last five encounters. With Sassuolo’s attacking players likely to exploit Monza’s defensive frailties, backing Sassuolo to cover the 0.25 handicap offers a solid opportunity for profit. Given the current form and head-to-head stats, it’s hard to see anything but a Sassuolo victory in this matchup.
