Monza to be relegated from the Italian Serie A has drifted from 8/11 to a best price of 6/5 with William Hill as six of nine bookmakers ease their odds.
The odds on Monza to be relegated from the Italian Serie A have drifted out from 8/11 to 6/5 with William Hill, and at last the market is giving Ivan Juric's side some credit.
Monza have drifted to a best price of 6/5 with William Hill, out from 8/11, with six of nine bookmakers easing their odds.
Gustavo Varela scored his seventh Serie A goal of the season in Friday's defeat at Torino.
Juric set Monza up in a 3-4-2-1 in Turin, with Dany Mota playing off Varela up front.
Monza sit in the lower half of the Serie A log alongside Parma and Venezia, and the market now rates both of those sides as bigger worries.
Friday's trip to Turin hurt, but it did not look like a side heading for the drop. Juric was back at his former club, and Monza went down 3-2 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino after Varela had levelled straight after the break. Torino then pulled clear through Kian Fitz-Jim, Rafik Belghali and Nikola Vlasic before a late Nathan Patterson own goal made the scoreline look closer. Messy at the back, no argument. But that equaliser was the forward's seventh league goal of the season, and a team with a striker this sharp in front of goal rarely stays rooted to the bottom.
The bigger reason for the drift came a few days earlier. Monza thumped Cagliari 4-0 and kept a clean sheet, the kind of result that makes bookmakers sit up, and one narrow defeat on the road has not undone it. Add Parma's slump and the market has moved: the odds on Monza have eased to 6/5 with William Hill, which puts the implied probability below evens. Think of a DStv Premiership side that scores four one week and loses narrowly away the next. Nobody here would write them off for the drop on that evidence, and the bookies have reached the same conclusion.

Will Monza be relegated from the Italian Serie A?
Parma are the favourites at a best price of 8/15 with Unibet, with Monza third-shortest at 6/5 with William Hill. We think that order is right. Parma's defeat at Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico was their third on the bounce in Serie A, and they are stuck in the relegation zone with no obvious way out. Venezia sit between the two in the betting, while Lecce are the longest of the four sides quoted.
Parma – 8/15 with Unibet. Sitting 19th in the log after a third straight Serie A defeat.
Venezia – 1/1 with William Hill. Second in the betting and in the lower half of the table alongside Monza and Parma.
Monza – 6/5 with William Hill. Drifting, and Varela's goals are the main reason the market is cooling on them.
Lecce – 13/8 with Unibet. The longest price of the four sides quoted.

How can Monza avoid being relegated from the Italian Serie A?
Keep feeding Varela. That is the short answer. The next week is a tough one, though. Monza host Napoli at the Stadio Brianteo on Wednesday, and Napoli have won their last 3 matches against Monza in all competitions. On Saturday it is Bologna away at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. Monza have also failed to win 34 of their last 38 matches in Serie A, so this drift is a reaction to a couple of encouraging outings and not proof that the problem is fixed. Our view is that the attack built around Varela, with Mota supporting him, gives Monza enough to stay out of the bottom three, and with Parma sinking, the market has moved the right way. Lose both games this week, though, and William Hill's price is unlikely to last.
