Verona take on the visitors Monza in the round 8 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, October 21st at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi (Verona).
Verona have recently managed to stay in Serie A thanks to a victory in a play-off match for 17th place, where they defeated Spezia. Last season, they did better, finishing in 13th place, a comfortable distance from the relegation zone. However, they changed managers again in the summer, with Paolo Zanetti taking over. So far, he hasn't had any draws at his new club. Yes, they have more losses, with four defeats, but with victories over Napoli, Genoa, and, in the most recent round, Venezia, they continue to hold a spot among the mid-table teams in Serie A. It's unlikely that anyone seriously expected Hellas to contend for much more.

Monza will try to climb away from the bottom. The "Red and Whites" are the final project of Berlusconi. He lived to see the debut of his team in Serie A, and it was quite a confident one. After his passing, the club continued to progress, finishing last season comfortably in 12th place, right next to their upcoming opponent. However, their mastermind, Raffaele Palladino, decided to move on during the summer. The former forward was replaced by a former defender and local legend, Alessandro Nesta. As a player, Nesta was great, but as a coach, he has yet to prove himself. So far, Monza hasn't delivered much under him (excluding the Coppa Italia, where they knocked out Brescia), alternating between draws and losses. In the last round, they drew 1-1 with Roma.
In the previous two Serie A seasons since their promotion, Monza has managed both wins and draws against the Mastiffs. Hellas is playing at home against a team struggling at the bottom. However, considering the recent international break, where teams may have adjusted their form, it's safer to bet on Verona with a "draw no bet" option.
Prediction for the match: Verona to win with 0.0 handicap.
