Udinese – Monza

Should we expect goals from both of the teams?

Udinese suffered a devastating defeat in the last match. The Friuli conceded three goals against Bologna. Interestingly, the loss came after a 3-1 victory over Milan. Much of this contrast is down the fact that three Bianconeri players were unable to take part in the encounter with the Rossoblu due to their suspension. Bekao, Wallace and Neueng Perez did not appear due to yellow cards. In addition to defeating Milan, the Friulians also defeated Empoli and shared points with Atalanta and Spezia. In the context of the prediction, it is worth noting that Udinese have scored in each of their home games in 2023. A total of eleven meetings at the Dacia Arena has been a two-goal game. The Friulians scored at home to Milan (3-1), Atalanta (2-2) and Inter (3-1). The team also thrashed Roma (4-0) and defeated Fiorentina (1-0) at home. Only one home game of the season saw the Bianconeri fail to produce a goal. It happened in the second leg against Salernitana (0-0). Monza also suffered a defeat on Matchday 2. Palladino's side had a very good game, but Lazio got the better of them. "The Brienzolli were unable to match Pedro and Milinkovic-Savic's goals, although the xG metric shows some unfairness in the result. For example, Monza scored 1.55 goals, while the Romans scored just 0.5 (according to understat). "The Biancorossi also have staffing problems due to disqualifications. For example, Izzo and Pessina missed the last match. It is worth noting that Monza played seven away games in 2023 and failed to score in only one of them. It happened in a match against Salernitana (3-0 defeat). "The Brienzolli, meanwhile, scored against Fiorentina (1-1) and Juventus in as many as two meetings (2-1 and 0-2). The teams have already met twice during the season. In the first leg, Udinese won 1-2, while in the Italian Cup, Monza took revenge with a 2-3 scoreline. Chances are good that the opponents can swap goals in this meeting too. That's a good bet.
