- Competition: Serie A
- Date: Saturday, 5th April, 2025
- Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CEST
- Venue: Brianteo (Monza)
After two great seasons in the Italian top-flight division, where they finished 11th and 12th, Monza are having a terrible one this year. Biancorossi found themselves at the bottom of the league's table with only 15 points after 30 rounds. With only nine rounds left, they are ten points away from the safe zone. The bookies are certain they would get relegated as they offer 1.0 on that bet!
Como secured promotion last year after finishing second in Serie B and are only looking to survive this season. And the Biancoblù are doing a fine job, considering they are sitting in 13th place, a comfortable seven points away from the relegation zone. If we take a look at their remaining schedule, we can safely say they are in a good position to secure survival.
Monza vs Como pick: Under 2.5 goals
Monza are playing a terrible season, and the situation is only getting worse. They won just two points in the last ten games and have scored just five goals - 0.5 per game. That is worse by almost a half than their season average of 0.97.
Como are in bad form as well and is currently on a four-game winless run. Also, Como have struggled away from home through the season, winning only a third of their points there. In 15 road Serie A games, they scored only 13 goals - 0.86, and we do not trust them to offer a good offensive display even against struggling Monza.
In the previous h2h game, we saw a 1:1 draw. Considering the previous h2h game, both team's poor forms, and all the above, an under 2.5 bet seems like the best option for this Serie A tie.

Monza team news
In recent days, Monza's defender Armando Izzo was cleared of fixing matches and Mafia association. The investigation lasted for almost a decade.
When it comes to injuries, the team should have no new ones, but the players who missed the previous games should remain sidelined - Luca Caldirola, Andrea Carboni, Matteo Pessina, and Stefano Sensi.

Como team news
Nico Paz and Dele Alli served their suspensions in the previous game against Empoli and will be available. Paz's return is definitely a massive plus for Como, considering he is one of their best players. So far, the 20-year-old has scored six and assisted for six goals in 27 Serie A appearances.
Meanwhile, Alberto Dossena should be the only injured player on the team.
