Last resort, no ifs or buts. Even if winning against Parma might not be enough to try and avoid relegation. Last-placed Monza, coached by Alessandro Nesta, however, showed against Inter last week that they still have something to say this season.
It will be a derby, because Chivu, whom we all remember in Serie A with the Inter shirt, has been sitting on the Parma bench for a couple of weeks. A derby that could also give hope to Monza, who could recover some injured players and therefore aim to achieve a victory that has been lacking for a very long time. The last team to lose against Monza was Fiorentina on January 13th. From that moment on, only disappointments.
Parma, on the other hand, drew two-all against Torino. In a comeback. Four points in Chivu’s first three games in the top flight, not a bad haul. But the team is still not doing well in the league table. We can’t talk about motivation, both teams have it. But we can talk about signals that have been sent and Monza has undoubtedly sent more over the past weekend. Furthermore, in the only three previous matches between these two teams, the Lombardy team has never won. We believe it could be the right time.

The prediction
The (bench) derby between the two Rossoneri teams. Monza could rise to the occasion in this match and get a win that they’ve been lacking for a long time. It’s difficult to say if it could be decisive for their salvation, but it could certainly restore some enthusiasm.
