Tips, Stats and Odds

Cagey clash on the cards at Stadio Brianteo

Cagliari enter this Monday night clash with Serie A sixteenth-placed Monza in much the better form of the two sides, winning three of their last five, drawing one and losing one. Their latest three results have seen them win on the road at Atalanta Bergamo and Udinese before a 1-1 draw at home to Juventus. Monza's recent results are mixed, with two defeats, two draws and a win in their last five games. In order of most recent, they beat Sassuolo 2-1 at home, drew 2-2 at Stade Brestois 29 and lost 3-1 away to Lazio. Monza have won one and lost one of their two home games in Serie A 2026/2027, while Cagliari have won all three of their road games, so there isn't a strong case to make for either side on that evidence. The odds are similarly close, with Monza 32/25 favourites, Cagliari 11/5 and the draw at 43/20.

Goals likely to be at a premium

Both teams will be wary of the threat posed by the other and it could be a cagey game, so under 2.5 goals at 7/10 is our tip for this game. The BTTS market is priced close, and with Cagliari's solidity in the last 5, we'll go with the away side for our correct score selection. Cagliari look the more likely winner based on their form and odds for this clash, but Monza are a high-energy team that could make this close and interesting.

Monza will make Cagliari work for their win

Ivan Juric has a high-intensity 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 system that presses high and breaks forward with pace, while Fabio Pisacane has Cagliari set up in a compact, yet flexible, back-four unit that will look to keep the ball and hit the hosts on the break. Gustavo Varela is Monza's danger man and he has four Serie A goals in as many games for the club this season, while Daniel Maldini has struck three goals in five games for Cagliari, with Michel Ndary Adopo supplying two assists to keep the supply line flowing for the club.
