- SS Lazio have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions (W3, D2).

Lazio are worthy favourites for this Serie A 2026/2027 encounter
SS Lazio are 3rd in Serie A 2026/2027 after picking up 13 points from their first 5 games, while SSD Monza 1912 have been much more inconsistent and currently sit 16th after taking just 4 points from their opening 5 matches.
Lazio are clear favourites in the match result market at 27/50, with Monza available at 5/1 and the draw at 29/10. However, we're going to play it a little safer in the BTTS market, where odds of 93/100 represent a decent bit of value for this clash.
Gennaro Gattuso has made Lazio a more physical, direct and compact side since he took charge in June 2026. The Biancocelesti have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 competitive games and they're unbeaten at home in Serie A 2026/2027 (W1, D1).
Their most recent fixture was a 2-0 away win at SSC Venezia and they followed that up with a 3-3 draw at home to Serie C side Juve Stabia in a friendly. Davide Frattesi remains their top scorer in Serie A 2026/2027 with 3 goals in 5 games, but Tijjani Noslin has scored 3 of Lazio's last 10 goals in the last 5 matches.
Monza can score if they can break through Lazio’s press
Monza's most recent result was a 3-2 defeat away to Lecce, but they had previously beaten Sassuolo 2-1 at home and picked up a 2-2 draw away to Stade Brestois 29 in a club friendly.
Ivan Juric has Monza playing a high-intensity 3-at-the-back system which is built on wing-back overloads and sharp vertical transitions. Gustavo Varela is in red-hot form for the Biancorossi and has 4 goals in 4 Serie A 2026/2027 games.
Lazio's 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 shape should look to control space and break quickly, and Monza's back-three setup will try to press high and attack the wide channels.
Both sides have the ability to create chances in this fixture if they can outplay one another's press. The head-to-head record also favours the hosts, who won the reverse fixture 5-1 here in Serie A 2024/2025, while Monza have not won any of the last 5 meetings, with two draws.
Lazio are the likelier of the two sides to take it, but Monza have scored 4 times in 3 away games in Serie A 2026/2027, so they're capable of nicking a goal in Rome.
