Napoli is the winner of the Serie A last season, the team's performance this season has declined significantly, after 30 rounds of league games, with 12 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses, ranking 8th in Serie A with 45 points, has been squeezed out of the European zone, in the case of one more round, and the 6th place Atalanta has a difference of 5 points, which shows that the team is difficult to return to the European zone in a short time. Judging from the data, Napoli have scored 44 goals and conceded 36 goals in 30 league games this season, and their offensive and defensive performances are average.
Napoli have been in a slump of late, having gone four games without a win, including being knocked out of the Champions League round of 16 by Barcelona. The team played at home to Atalanta in the last round of the league, with 61% possession and 6 shots on target from 20 attempts, and the team's performance throughout the game was very poor, with consecutive goals broken by opponents, and the forward line still did nothing, and finally was swept 0-3 by the opponent.
In terms of the past meetings between the two teams, Monza has played Napoli 3 times, with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, and the two sides have equal records. In terms of recent results, Monza have been in decent form of late and have a good ability to grab points, while Napoli have been in a slump of form recently and have suffered a demoralization after being swept in the last round. Judging from the current attitude of all parties, the performance is decent, combined with the strength and recent situation of both sides, Napoli is still expected to win all three points in this game.
