Monza vs Hellas Verona Prediction

Following the departure of Alessandro Nesta and the appointment of Salvatore Bocchetti, Monza’s performances improved but still in back-to-back defeats. They did manage a 2-1 win over Fiorentina earlier this month but have now since suffered another couple of losses against Bologna and Genoa. They now face a Hellas Verona side that were held to a 1-1 draw by Venezia in Venice last weekend. They are hovering just above the bottom three and the relegation places ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures and goal difference but siding with them for this one would still appear best value as they take on a poor Monza side.
