Lazio vs Monza prediction

THE FORECAST

Lazio sit third with 13 points and a strong recent run of four wins from five, backed by a solid defensive record of 0.6 goals conceded per game and three clean sheets, making them clear favourites at home against a Monza side in the relegation zone with only four points. Monza arrive with a lengthy injury list and the suspension of Mota, further depleting an already struggling squad that has conceded 2.4 goals per game and kept no clean sheets. Both teams have adequate rest and comfortable weather conditions pose no particular disadvantage, so Lazio's superior quality across the pitch should translate into a home win, though Monza's lone recent victory provides a slight caution against predicting a rout.
