Lazio take on the visitors Monza in the round 5 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, September 23rd at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Lazio have had a frankly poor start. The Eagles under Maurizio Sarri managed to significantly improve their performance. In the previous season, they even became the runners-up in the country. Compared to that level, the sky-blue and gold are currently not making a strong impression. Yes, they managed to motivate their players to win 2-1 against Napoli. However, before that, the capitals grand club suffered defeats to nominally weaker opponents, Lecce and Genoa. Following the international break, last Saturday, the Roman team was clearly weaker than Juventus and lost 1-3. Then, on Tuesday, they hosted Atletico Madrid at their home ground, starting their Champions League campaign.

The Red and Whites are Silvio Berlusconi’s latest project. Silvio had a chance to witness his new club make its way to Serie A, and his energy and financial investments were instrumental in significantly strengthening the squad in the summer of 2022. However, the aging oligarch passed away before seeing the team finish comfortably in 11th place in the table under the guidance of Raffaele Paladino, who became the coach midway through the season. Nevertheless, this summer, the transfer policy remained largely unchanged, with additions such as Gagliardini, Gori, D’Ambrosio, and Akpa-Akpro, among others. The results of the revamped team have been modest but not hopeless, securing home victories against Empoli and a draw against Lecce in the last match.
In the previous season, Lazio won both matches against Monza with clean sheets, 2-0 and 1-0. The Eagles are expected to justify their favorite status, and it’s unlikely the visitors will disrupt that. We expect that the guests will not lose this one.
Prediction for the match: Monza not to lose (X2).
