Bitesize Prediction: Napoli vs Monza – 21/08/22

Competition: Serie A

Market: Victor Osimhen to score anytime

Odds: 5/4 @ 888sport

Looking to claim back-to-back Serie A victories on Sunday evening, Napoli will welcome Monza to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Starting with the hosts, managing to claim a bronze medal finish last season and securing a Champions League return, Napoli are certainly enjoying life under Luciano Spalletti. With their sights set on trying to mount a genuine title charge this time around, the one-time Inter Milan boss saw his side open the 2022/23 campaign with a real flurry earlier in the week. Putting in a rampant display away at Verona as they eventually clinched an action-packed 5-2 victory, the Azzurri should be smelling another golden chance on Sunday evening. Signing off last season by winning each of their final four Serie A outings, it is well worth keeping an eye out for attacking talisman Victor Osimhen here. Gaining plenty of plaudits after racking up 14 top-flight strikes at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona last season, the 23-year-old also opened his account against Verona on Monday.

As for the visitors, while Monza might have shocked many across Italy earlier in the year as they clinched a maiden spot in Serie A, many are expecting a tough campaign for Giovanni Stroppa’s side. Regarded to be a leading contender to be hit with an immediate second-tier return this season, the Lombardy-based outfit were also last seen putting in a downbeat display on home soil. Eventually hit with a 2-1 defeat against Torino at the Stadio Brianteo, the Reds will be more than aware that they face a monumental challenge on Sunday evening. Despite enjoying what was a stellar run over the summer, it should be noted that Monza lost three of their final four Serie B regular-season away contests last season. Watching Napoli open the 2022/23 campaign with a real flurry away at Verona, Osimhen and co should be smelling a chance here.

Bet: Victor Osimhen 5/4 to score anytime against Monza in Sunday’s Serie A showdown @ 888sport
