Serie A
The second of four games on Saturday from Serie A sees Monza host Cagliari. Both sides come here playing well, Monza have won three of their last four, while Cagliari are unbeaten in four, winning their last two games. This should be an entertaining and even clash between these two sides.
Monza Form GuideMonza are continuing to go along nicely in Serie A, they'll be pleased with what they have done this season and begin the weekend in 10th position with 39 points. Eight points off the top six, it's a big ask, a step too far I think, but they'll keep going, and are in good form, while those above aren't in as good form as them.
They've won three of their last four games, the most recent of those was a win last weekend where they edged out Genoa 3-2 away from home. The defeat was next, a 4-1 loss at Roma, while before that, they looked much better when they won 2-0 at Salernitana, and their best result so far, a 4-2 home win over AC Milan.
Cagliari Form GuideFighting for their lives, I think we are seeing the best of Cagliari right now, it's just a shame it's taken so long for it to appear. They've pulled out of the relegation zone as we start the weekend, they sit in 15th, two points above the bottom three so with plenty to still play for.
Unbeaten in four, two wins in their last two, the most recent of those being a 4-2 success over bottom club Salernitana. Before that, they won 1-0 away at Empoli, both sides near the bottom, so important games. Draws against Napoli and Udinese further added points to their total, in what has been a good run.
Match PredictionBoth teams will fancy their chances here, this could be a really entertaining game to watch. Despite the rise of Cagliari, I am going to go with Monza to win this game. They're also going along well, and I think have a small quality edge.
