Monza form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here as Monza have scored 12 goals to get 14 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Serie B are 4-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Monza bring valid hopes of a third.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Monza, as their goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the Serie B.

It's back home for Monza, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Cremonese away with the result 2-0. Antonino Barillà and Davide Frattesi found the net in that victory. Before that, Monza had a home game versus Ascoli which ended with a victory 2-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Monza's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn two and lost zero.

Monza have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 12 goals in 7 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Monza have only let in 3 goals at home.

Salernitana form and stats

Playing away, Salernitana have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Serie B this season.

Salernitana play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Venezia (placed 8th). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Virtus Entella.

Goalkeeper Vid Belec was absolutely vital in the Salernitana victory against Venezia, making seven saves.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Salernitana when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing one and winning one game.

Salernitana have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 7 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Salernitana have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
