Monza - Ascoli Match Preview

In this match of Italian Serie B, Monza will play at home ground against Ascoli. This should be a very entertaining match because both teams need points from it.

Monza is currently at 4th place in the league. They have won 57 points so far in 32 rounds played. Only the first two teams qualify directly to Serie A at the end. The first-placed team, Cremonese, is only three points ahead, so this win is imperative here for Monza. There are still six rounds left to be played but if they do not win in this one they will fall back behind the leaders. Monza is in good form and won four out of the last ten matches played.

Ascoli is in 7th position. They are almost with no chances to finish among the top two teams, but they can win their way to Serie A through playoffs. At the moment they are in 7th position with 52 points. They played already once this season against Monza and the match finished 1:1. Now the match will be played in Monza. They are also in solid form but not quite as good as their opponents.

Monza is the favorite here for one more reason. Having lost their last match against Como now they cannot afford to lose again in this match. Silvio Berlusconi is their owner and has spent a lot of money in their effort to qualify for Serie A. I will go with the home side to win here.
