Monza vs AC Milan Prediction and Betting Tips | February 18th 2023

Monza will welcome reigning champions AC Milan to the Stadio Brianteo in Serie A on Saturday.

The hosts are unbeaten in their last eight league outings and returned to winning ways last Sunday as they overcame Bologna in their away game thanks to Giulio Donati's first-half goal. Thanks to their unbeaten run, they find themselves in 10th place in the league table with 29 points to their name.

AC Milan returned to winning ways after three consecutive defeats last time around as Olivier Giroud's second-half striker helped them overcome Torino at home last Friday. They continued their winning run in the UEFA Champions League, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the first leg on Tuesday.

Back-to-back defeats have seen them drop to fifth place in the league table but just three points separate them from second-placed Inter Milan.

Monza vs AC Milan Prediction

The Biancorossi have been in solid form at home in Serie A this season, scoring at least two goals in four of their last five games. They defeated Juventus and played out a draw against Inter at home earlier this season and will be hopeful of a strong performance. They have not defeated Milan since 1964 but their odds of playing out a draw look good.

The Rossoneri have failed to score in their last two away games and have just one win in their last six league games. Stefano Pioli fielded a strong squad in the Champions League and might rest a few players from that match in this tie. With that in mind, the two teams are expected to play out a draw.

Prediction: Monza 2-2 AC Milan
