Spezia vs. Monza Betting Preview
Spezia
There will certainly be increased pressure on Spezia this weekend, as their stay in Serie A is under threat. They currently sit a place above the drop zone in the standings, but they have been in poor form over their previous five. They have picked up just three points from a possible 15 over that period, with all points being picked up from draws.
Spezia was held to a third draw in four matches in their previous fixture, but they will require a return to winning ways to enhance their chances of survival. It also looks to be a testing run-in, as they come up against a number of sides that will be among the favorites in the odds to win Serie A next term.
Scoring goals at home has been a recurring issue in home fixtures throughout this calendar year. They have failed to score in six of eight matches that they have played at Alberto Picco, and they have netted just 13 times in Serie A fixtures in 2023.
Monza
Monza has been a side that has upset a number of soccer picks throughout the season, as they have exceeded all expectations to move stylishly clear of the drop zone in Serie A.
They now sit 12th in the overall standings, and they could move up to as high as eighth on Friday evening. Their recent form has been incredibly strong, as they have picked up back-to-back wins, while they have lost just once in their last five.
Monza is enjoying a historic first season in Serie A, as only Chievo in 2001-02 has picked up more points from their first 31 matches in the competition. But, they will need to create more history this weekend if they are to claim maximum points, as Spezia is unbeaten in their seven home matches against newly promoted sides in Serie A. But, that is unlikely to be a trend to put off bettors making their Spezia vs Monza picks this weekend.
Spezia vs. Monza Betting Picks
Spezia’s home record against newly promoted sides does deserve respect, but their record at Alberto Picco this calendar year has been anything but formidable. Monza has been going about their business very productively, and it’s hard to sway away from the visitors when making Spezia vs Monza picks this week.
We can see the traveling side picking up a 2-0 success.
- Pick 1: Monza (+160)
- Pick 2: Monza to win 2-0 (+1100)
