Napoli will be out to secure their first away win since August when they visit the U-Power Stadium to face Monza in round nine of the Italian Serie A on Wednesday. Having lost the last three meetings between the two teams, Ivan Jurić’s men head into the midweek tie looking to get one over Napoli and secure a third straight home win in the league.
Newly-promoted Monza failed to build on their emphatic 4-0 victory over Cagliari on October 19 as they fell to a 3-2 defeat against Torino at the Stadio Olimpico last Friday.
Thanks for the submission!
Jurić’s side have lost five of their eight Serie A games so far, while claiming two wins and one draw to collect seven points and sit 15th in the league table, level on points with 16th-placed Genoa.
Having gained promotion from Serie B last term, Monza’s struggles in the big leagues have been down to their defensive vulnerability, having shipped 18 goals already — only Fiorentina (19) have conceded more.
On the other hand, Napoli were left disappointed last Saturday when they played out a 3-3 stalemate with AS Roma after giving up their lead twice at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Off the back of finishing as runners-up in Serie A last season, Massimiliano Allegri’s men have struggled for consistency this term, picking up three wins and losing three of their eight league matches so far.
Napoli, who have also lost twice and secured one win from their opening three UEFA Champions League matches, sit 10th in the Serie A table with 11 points from a possible 24, but they could rise into sixth place with a win on Wednesday.
Monza vs Napoli Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- With four wins from the last six meetings between the sides, Napoli boast a superior record in the history of this fixture.
- Monza have managed just one win in that time, while the two teams have settled for a share of the spoils once.
- Jurić’s men have lost their last three matches against Napoli, conceding seven goals and scoring twice since a goalless draw in December 2023.

Monza vs Napoli Prediction
Napoli have struggled to impose themselves this season, but they will be backing themselves against a Monza side who have lost their last three meetings.
