Roma vs. Monza Match Analysis and Prediction

Monza will fancy their chances to record their first victory in the Serie A this week when they take a trip to Stadio Olimpico di Roma for a clash against Roma at their home turf. Match day schedules for August 30 at 21:45 EAT.

Jose Mourinho’s squad is now at two wins and a draw from the inaugural three rounds, to six th spot with seven points. The free-kick goal from Juve’s Dusan Vlahovic was their inaugural conceded goal in the season. Coming into this game, Roma is unbeaten in all their last six matches across all the competitions (DWWWWD).

Roma held each other to 1-1 Serie A stalemate with Juventus in their most recent fixture. In that match, Roma had 43% possession, eight shots with four of them on target and a goal scored by Tammy Abraham (69′). Juventus got 14 shots with three of them on target and a goal by Dušan Vlahović (2′).

Monza began their first-ever top-flight campaign with high ambitions; however the reality seems to be harsh to the club. Nevertheless, the newly promoted outfit is still without a single point after three opening rounds. Their defense is obviously not at the level required for the elite-class football right now as they have shipped as many as eight goals in the opening three affairs, at least two in each of them.

Monza will be hoping for better results following 1-2 Serie A losing efforts at the hands of Udinese in their most recent encounter. In that match, Monza managed 56% possession, 10 shots with five of them on target and a goal scored by Andrea Colpani (32′). Udinese got 15 shots with four of them on target and goals by Beto (36′) and Destiny Udogie (77′).
