Monza vs Udinese Match Summary
Competition | Italian Serie A |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 29 August 2026 |
Match Time | 17:30 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Monza, U-Power Stadium |
Monza host Udinese at the U-Power Stadium on Matchday 2 of the 2026-27 Serie A season, and our Monza vs Udinese prediction points to a tight afternoon in the Italian Serie A.
Monza go into this one hunting their first league points of the campaign after an opening-weekend 4-1 loss to Inter Milan. They sit bottom of the table and need a response.
Udinese opened up with a 1-1 home draw against Como, so Kosta Runjaic's side arrive on the back of a point and rated the more solid of the two here.
These sides have shared plenty of goals lately, with both teams finding the net in the majority of their recent Serie A head-to-heads, making goals at both ends the most telling angle here.
Monza vs Udinese Form
Monza are in a rut, having lost nine of their last 10 Serie A matches, and they have conceded at least twice in five of their last six in the division. Gustavo Varela did net on his Serie A debut against Inter Milan, but the wheels came off after the break. Andrea Colpani remains the creative spark going forward.
Udinese look the steadier outfit, sitting 11th in the standings after opening with that 1-1 draw against Como, when Hassane Kamara struck. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Udinese's last five Serie A games, hinting at a stubborn, low-key streak. Ivan Gueye leads the line up top.

Monza
Monza are shorn of a chunk of their squad, with Pessina, Colombo, Ciurria and Idrissa Touré all sidelined, while Akinsanmiro is a doubt with flu symptoms. Expect a 3-4-2-1 shape, with Cutrone and Colpani feeding lone striker Varela and Pizzignacco between the posts.
Udinese
Udinese must do without the suspended Kabasele along with the injured Palma, Chakvetadze, Zanoli and Zaniolo, and Davis is being assessed for a muscle problem. They mirror the hosts in a 3-4-2-1, Karlström and Piotrowski anchoring the engine room behind Gueye.

Monza vs Udinese Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This has the feel of a tight, hard-fought fixture between two sides who tend to trade goals. Udinese are the favourites at 8/5 with Coral, and with Monza leaking goals we make it a 1-2 away win, though both teams to find the net looks the safer angle.
Best Bets
Jakub Piotrowski Over 1.5 in the Player Shots market. Piotrowski operates as a box-to-box presence in Udinese's midfield and, with the visitors expected to dominate proceedings as the attacking favourites, he has the platform to get forward and rack up shots throughout the ninety minutes.
Both Teams To Score - Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. The model projects a 55.3% implied probability of both sides netting in a match expected to produce around 2.76 goals, and Monza's leaky rearguard alongside Udinese's threat points firmly towards goals at either end.

Monza vs Udinese Talking Points
This is a chance for Monza to steady the ship after their opening 4-1 defeat to Inter Milan, in which Hakan Çalhanoğlu struck early. Bottom of the table and shipping goals, the hosts badly need a home performance. Udinese, meanwhile, will feel they should have taken more from their opener, having been pegged back by Anastasios Douvikas as Como earned a 1-1 draw. Runjaic's side look the more organised outfit and are rightly favoured, but Monza's knack for coming back from losing positions and both teams' recent habit of scoring means the visitors cannot afford to switch off. Colpani against his old sparring partners is the key duel to watch.
