Monza vs Udinese Prediction & Betting Tips – 29/08/2026
Monza welcome Udinese to the U-Power Stadium on Friday evening in a Serie A fixture carrying vastly different stakes for each side. The hosts, marooned in 18th place, are scrapping for survival in a campaign defined by inconsistency. Udinese, sitting comfortably in 11th, arrive in Lombardy riding a superb run of form that has lifted them well clear of danger. For Monza, every home match now feels like a cup final; for the Friulani, this represents a chance to consolidate their mid-table standing and push towards the upper reaches of the division.
Match Analysis
Udinese arrive at U-Power Stadium as clear favourites at 2.38, backed by a remarkable run of four wins and a draw in their last five Serie A outings, currently sitting a comfortable 11th in the standings.
- DWWWW in last five Serie A matches, the strongest recent form of either side.
- 11th place in the table reflects a stable, well-organised squad with no relegation pressure.
- Won at U-Power Stadium in December 2024 with a 1-2 scoreline, proving comfort on this ground.
- Facing a Monza side missing six key players, including captain Pessina and first-choice goalkeeper Cragno.
Monza, priced at 3.10 despite home advantage, sit 18th in Serie A and face this fixture in crisis mode, with a devastating injury list stripping the squad of leadership, creativity, and defensive solidity across every line.
- Six absentees confirmed, including captain Pessina (knee) and goalkeeper Cragno.
- Obiang suspended and Bondo out, leaving two central midfield slots severely undermanned.
- Sitting 18th with a L-W recent run, inconsistency compounds the squad depth problem.
Key point: With both defences under pressure and Monza's backline depleted, the double chance covering Udinese via 2.38 offers the clearest value in this fixture.

Our Verdict
Udinese's blistering run of four consecutive victories makes the away win at 2.38 the standout selection here. Monza, languishing in 18th, have managed just one win in their last two outings and lack the consistency to trouble a side this confident. The Friulani's defensive solidity through that winning streak also points towards under 2.5 goals at 1.62 as a worthwhile secondary pick. Back the visitors to collect all three points in a controlled, professional display. Odds correct at time of publication.
