Saturday 005 Serie A Parma vs Monza Match Time: December 28, 22:00
Parma is ranked much higher in the Serie A standings, currently at 15th place, compared to Monza, which is at the bottom of the table. Parma's recent form has been poor with only two wins, three draws, and five losses in their last ten matches. However, Monza's record is even worse, with three draws and seven losses. Additionally, Parma has the advantage of playing at home. Today, Parma is undoubtedly the more attractive team and is likely to receive more attention.
Parma started with a high return on their -0.5 handicap, but later reduced it to -0.25 with a high return and even -0 with a low return. These adjustments seem to indicate a lack of confidence in Parma.
In the previous match, Parma suffered injuries to their starting left-back Valeri and right-back Del Prato. Furthermore, key midfielder Bernabe and semi-starting defensive midfielder Estevez, among others, are still out due to injuries. The team is severely depleted. Although Monza also had new injuries to their starting forward Motta and midfielder Kiriacopoulos, their starting center-forward Jurić and starting attacking midfielder Little Martini have returned to the squad list, with minimal changes in strength and fewer absences. After their loss in the last game, Monza finally completed a managerial change, and today marks the debut of their new coach Bochetti, who has a strong desire for a turnaround. Moreover, both teams are considered "little brothers" of Milan, belonging to the same faction, so there is a possibility of some underhand tactics.
Considering all these factors, I believe Monza will remain unbeaten in this match.
Directional suggestion: Draw or Win for Monza, Single Game Suggestion: Monza +0.25 (Entertainment scores could be 0-1 or 1-1).
