Bologna vs Monza Prediction and Betting Tips | December 3rd 2024

Bologna will invite Monza to Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in the Coppa Italia round of 16 on Tuesday. The hosts earned direct qualification to the round of 16 while the Brianzoli booked their place in the competition with a 3-1 home win over Brescia in September.

The Rossoblù returned to winning ways after two consecutive defeats last week, with a comfortable 3-0 home triumph over Venezia in Serie A. Dan Ndoye bagged a brace while second-half substitute Riccardo Orsolini scored from the penalty spot in the 69th minute.

The visitors are winless in their last six games, with three draws and three defeats. They are unbeaten in their two league games after the international break, playing out 1-1 draws. They played Como last week and Gianluca Caprari's second-half penalty helped them take home a point from that match.

Bologna vs Monza Prediction

I Rossoblù registered their first win after the international break last week, scoring three goals while keeping clean sheets, and will look to build on that form. They are unbeaten in their last three meetings against the visitors, keeping two clean sheets.

Lorenzo De Silvestri suffered a bruise against Venezia and is a doubt. Dan Ndoye is expected to be rested here while Nicolò Cambiaghi, Michel Aebischer, and Oussama El Azzouzi are long-term absentees.

I Brianzoli have won just one of their last nine games in all competitions, with that triumph coming in their away meeting against Verona in October. They have lost three of their last four away games in the Coppa Italia, conceding two goals apiece.

Alessandro Nesta is likely to make a few changes to the starting XI and Patrick Ciurria might get the nod to start here.

I Rossoblù have a good recent record in this fixture and, considering their home advantage, they are expected to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Bologna 2-1 Monza
