Match Analysis

Cagliari's recent performances have been a mixed bag. They suffered a narrow defeat to Roma and another loss away at Bologna, yet managed to draw against Genoa at home. The team has shown some resilience, averaging 1.6 goals per game over their last five outings, which indicates an ability to find the back of the net. However, their defense has been slightly porous, conceding an average of 1.2 goals per game in the same period. Monza, meanwhile, is entrenched in a challenging spell, having yet to taste victory in their last three matches. They drew against Parma and endured defeats at the hands of Inter and Torino. Monza's defensive frailties are evident, having conceded an average of 3.4 goals per game over their last five matches. Offensively, they have struggled, scoring just 0.8 goals per game, with their expected goals tally further underlining the need for improvement in attacking areas.

Final Prediction

Cagliari's edge in this matchup lies in their stronger offensive output and relatively sturdier defense compared to Monza. With Monza's defense leaking goals, Cagliari's attacking players might find opportunities to capitalize on. A key factor to watch will be Cagliari's ability to maintain defensive solidity against a Monza side desperate to turn their fortunes around.
