Bologna vs. Monza: Prediction for the Italian Cup Match

Command Analysis
Bologna
ItalyCurrent form
Bologna managed to unexpectedly "shoot" last season, but now the team is having a very difficult time. The "greyhounds" do not have a special reserve of strength to successfully play in several tournaments. We also remember that many of last year successes are associated with the fact that Thiago Motta was the coach, who left the club in the summer. As a result, at the moment in Serie A Bologna occupies only eighth place, and in the Champions League after five rounds is in 33rd place, having scored only one point. Vincenzo Italiano charges played their last match in Serie A against Venezia and won a convincing victory on their home field with a score of 3:0.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bologna has no noticeable problems with its squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bologna have failed to win in the first half in three of their last five matches
- Bologna have scored at least three goals in four consecutive matches
Estimated line-up: Skorupski, Miranda, Lukumi, Beikema, Golm, Moro, Freuler, Dominguez, Urbanski, Carlson, Dallinga.
Monza
ItalyCurrent form
As expected, Monza is fighting for survival in Serie A, but has not yet managed to leave the relegation zone. Following 14 rounds, the White-Reds have 10 points, with which they occupy the penultimate 19th place. The team has only one victory, but has drawn seven times, and is quite capable of unexpectedly taking points where it is not expected. In the last two rounds of the championship, Monza drew with Torino and Como with the same score of 1:1. In the Italian Cup, at the previous stage, they managed to easily beat Brescia (3:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Monza has no significant losses in its squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- In none of their previous five matches have Monza won in the first half
- The last two matches involving Monza have seen an exchange of goals
Tentative lineup: Turati, Caldirola, Marie, Carboni, Birindelli, D'Ambrosio, Bondo, Bianco, Valotti, Mota, Maldini.

18.00Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, we suggest taking a risk and betting with high odds that Monza will make it to the quarterfinals from this pair. Bologna has been too unstable this season, there is no safety margin to successfully play in several tournaments. The guests have repeatedly taken points from difficult opponents in Serie A and presented surprises during the season, they may well “make some noise” in the Cup.
Our prediction is that Monza will win with odds of 3.40
Bet on total
Bologna have become noticeably more active and bolder in their recent matches. For four matches in a row involving the hosts, the bet on the total over 2.5 goals is taking place, which we expect today.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.33
Bet on the first half
It should be noted that in the last three face-to-face matches, a draw was recorded at the end of the first half. It is highly likely that this time, all the main events on the field will unfold after the break.
