Napoli vs Monza Prediction
Napoli have undergone a squad makeover this summer, with long-serving players like Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne and Kalidou Koulibaly all leaving the club for pastures new. Napoli have acted quickly to fill the gaps in the squad, signing talents like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Kim Min-jae, Mathias Olivera and Leo Skiri Ostigard.
Monza, on the other hand, have been ambitious with their recruitment. Having been linked with moves for Paulo Dybala and Mauro Icardi initially, Monza have signed Italy internationals Stefano Sensi and Matteo Pessina among other players. Monza have aimed high with their recruitment, but it remains to be seen whether that translates to on-field performances.
Napoli will be the favorites to win this game.
Prediction: Napoli 2-0 Monza
