Napoli will aim to get back to winning ways when they face Monza tonight at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
After losing 2-0 to Roma in their last match, Napoli will look to end the year on a high by securing a win against Monza. The Partenopei have lost in their two previous outings, including bowing out of the Coppa Italia with a loss to Frosinone. New manager Walter Mazzarri is yet to turn things in the right way after the sacking of Rudi Garcia due to inconsistent results. The Neapolitans have dropped to 7th place and it is a long fight to go for them as their chances of defending the Scudetto are becoming virtually slimmer.
Meanwhile, Monza come into this match on the back of a 1-0 defeat against Fiorentina. Lucas Beltran’s 7th-minute goal stood as the difference as Raffaele Palladino’s side suffered their second loss in a row. The Biancorossi have lost the flair they had last season with which they defeated the top names in the league. Monza were routed 4-0 during their last visit to the ‘Maradona’ in August 2022 but got revenge at home with a 2-0 victory.
Here are the predicted line-ups for the match according to Sky Italia:
Napoli (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Juan Jeus, Mario Rui; Anguissa, Cajuste, Zielinski; Zerbin (Lindstrom), Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia
Monza (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Izzo, Caldirola, D’Ambrosio; Ciurria, Akpa Akpro, Gagliardini, Kyriakopoulos; Pessina, Colpani; Dany Mota
