Serie B leader Monza is rightfully hoping for three points in their home match against lowly Südtirol. The team has demonstrated consistency, occupying the top spot thanks to a solid defense (only nine goals conceded) and an effective attack. At home, the Red and Whites are a true fortress, rarely making mistakes.
Südtirol is languishing at the bottom of the table, demonstrating a toothless attack and chronic problems with away goalscoring – six draws and one loss. The team can't boast of either consistency or spectacular victories – their lot is mostly timid draws and occasional wins. Snatching points from the clear favorites at their home ground is a near-impossible task.
Everything points to a surefire victory for the hosts. The difference in class, motivation, home advantage, and current form all favor Monza. The leader is expected to confidently deal with the outsider, strengthening its lead in the championship.
