Tip and bets
Our recommendation is to take the over in this game. In order to pick up their first points in Serie A, the hosts will play an open brand of football against their opponents, which will lead to a large number of scoring chances. The visitors, on the other hand, scored two goals against AC Milan. This time, they have a much weaker opponent, and we don't see why they wouldn't be able to deliver goals.
Our prediction - total over 2.5 goals
Monza had a great season last year, worked hard in the offseason, and strengthened their squad during the transfer window. Their home performances have always been good, while Udinese might encounter unexpected problems on their travels due to their inconsistent play. We give the home team a slight edge.
Take Monza's win by 1 goal.
