Monza is poised for promotion to Serie A after a remarkable Serie B season. They won 14 out of 19 home games and achieved a commanding 2-0 lead over Catanzaro in the playoff finals first leg. Catanzaro, despite an initial lucky path to the finals, suffered back-to-back losses and struggled in form and efficiency. Key stats and home advantage make Monza the clear favorites to secure another win at U-Power Stadium and clinch promotion.

Monza were one of the strongest hosts in Serie B this season, winning 14 out of 19 matches, while also outplaying Catanzaro 2-0 in the first tie. I am backing them to finish the job on Friday with another win at U-Power Stadium. 

Key Stats  


  • Monza have won 3 of their last 4 home matches. 
  • Monza have won 2 of their last 3 matches against Catanzaro. 
  • Catanzaro have lost their last 2 matches. 

Catanzaro Lead H2H 


Catanzaro have won 12 out of 37 head to head matches against this opponent, Monza securing 8 victories while 17 contests ended level.   

Monza Likely to Get Promoted 


Monza are hoping for an express comeback to the elite, finishing 3rd in Serie B with 76 points in 38 matches, five points short of directly promoted Frosinone.   

Their first playoff clash against Juve Stabia ended in a 2-2 draw where they recovered from a two-goal deficit, then deservedly won at home 2-1, allowing just one shot on target where Patrick Cutrone netted a brace. 

Paolo Bianci’s side earned a huge 2-0 victory in the first tie against Catanzaro in the playoff finals last weekend, both scored through counterattacks, Guiseppe Caso and Hernani finding the net. 

Catanzaro Lucky to Reach the Finals 


Catanzaro’s form and results were poor going into Serie B playoffs, losing to Palermo 3-2 on the road and 3-2 against Bari at home to finish in 5th place.   

After beating Palermo 3-0 at home in the semifinal first tie, they were lucky to escape Sicily with a 2-0 loss, goalkeeper Mirko Pigliacelli recording four big saves here, while offense failed to produce anything. 

Catanzaro had 62% possession in the playoff finals first tie against Monza at home but didn’t get anything out of it, losing the encounter 2-0 while firing just one shot on target. 

Predicted Lineups 


Monza (3-4-2-1) Demba Thiam; Luca Ravanelli, Samuele Birindelli, Andrea Carboni; Adam Bakoune, Leonardo Colombo, Andrea Colpani, Matteo Pessina; Paulo Azzi, Patrick Cutrone, Dany Mota

Catanzaro (3-4-2-1) Mirko Pigliacelli; Tommaso Cassandro, Matias Antonini Lui, Nicolo Brighenti; Costantino Favasuli, Jacopo Petriccione, Simone Pontisso, Gabriele Alesi; Mattia Liberali, Pietro Iemmello, Filippo Pittarello

Verdict

Catanzaro’s form has declined recently, registering two straight 2-0 defeats to Palermo and Monza. I am backing the hosts to win the second leg and earn their Serie A promotion in style.
