Betting tip
Monza's poor home run in Serie A, which began back in the 2024/25 season, continues: they are without a win in nine home matches. Sassuolo, meanwhile, took three points off Juventus (3:2) in the last round. That contrast is precisely why an away win looks appealing.
After four rounds of the new season, Monza have one point and no wins. Even at home, they rarely score more than once, doing so in 8 of 10 cases. Their opponents also regularly register shots on target — at least four in 9 of 10 home fixtures.
Sassuolo are in the top half of the table: after four rounds, they have seven points and eight goals. They edged Juventus 3:2 in their last match. The visitors have also been consistent in terms of shots on target, recording at least four in 8 of their last 10 games. That should be enough to breach Monza's defence.
The only concern before placing this bet is Sassuolo's away defence. In 8 of 10 away matches, their opponents have had at least 14 shots. If Monza get opportunities on the counter, they could cling on for a draw. Another source of uncertainty is the possible absence of Jay Idzes from the centre of the visitors' defence after he was injured late in the match against Juventus. Prediction: Sassuolo to win.
