-
Domenico Berardi's ideal opponent
-
Milan to add to Samp misery
-
Juve to grind out another win
Both teams arrive at this fixture in impressive form, with Monza currently enjoying a seven-match unbeaten run and - currently sat on 49 points - they look set to join Chievo (2001/02) and Parma (1990/91) as the only sides to reach the 50 point mark in their debut Serie A season.
However, they can expect a tough challenge from Sassuolo, who are unbeaten in their last six home matches whilst also not losing any of their last eight encounters with newly promoted sides.
It is also worth noting that only Napoli's Victor Osimhen (16) has been involved in more Serie A goals than Domenico Berardi's tally of 15 in 2023, with the Sassuolo man also having notched 11 goals and five assists in his last 15 games against newly promoted sides.
With all that in mind, the tip here is to back Sassuolo to win & Domenico Berardi to score, a market which is available at odds of 4.46.
AC Milan might have lost to crosstown rivals Inter in Tuesday's Champions League semifinal, but the Rossoneri will hope to bounce back against Serie A strugglers Sampdoria on Saturday night.
Indeed, the visitors sit rock bottom of the table after taking just 18 points from their 35 matches thus far, with just nine of those points coming away from home.
With the Rossoneri having seen under 2.5 goals in each of their last seven league games , the tip here is to back AC Milan to win & under 2.5 goals, a market that is currently available at odds of 23/10.
Empoli have only won one of their last 19 meetings with Juventus, with the Bianconeri boasting a perfect record in five visits to the Stadio Castellani with Max Allegri on the bench.
Those five wins have seen Juve keep three clean sheets, while Allegri's men have scored 2+ goals in each of their last three games overall, claiming three points in each of those contests.
It is worth noting that no team has registered more wins than the 14 the Bianconeri have collected against teams currently in the bottom half of the table and, armed with that knowledge, the tip here is to back Juventus to win to nil, a market available at 9/5.
