Inter Milan vs Monza Prediction
Inter defeated Feyenoord by two goals to nil in a professional and impressive display in the first-leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie at De Kuip thanks to a goal in either half from each member of their strike partnership Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. The Nerazzurri could have gone well clear at the top-of-the-table last weekend but they were pegged back to a 1-1 draw by Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona thanks to a late equaliser from Philip Billing. They face a Monza side that most recently suffered a 2-0 loss at home to Torino last week with Salvatore Bocchetti, who replaced Alessandro Nesta in January, overseeing a side that begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting rock-bottom in Serie A and nine points adrift of safety. A comfortable Inter victory is to be expected at San Siro this weekend.
