Napoli are off to their worst start to a season since 2009/10, taking just 11 points from their first eight games of the Serie A campaign.
They suffered their latest disappointment when failing to capitalise on a 2-0 lead in their 3-3 draw with Roma on Saturday.
On Wednesday night the Partenopei take on a newly-promoted Monza team who have been one of the most entertaining teams to watch in Serie A.
Monza v Napoli Tips Summary

Monza v Napoli Prediction
Best Bet: Napoli to win @ 3/4
Fans of Monza cannot consider themselves hard done by on the goals front this season, with their eight Serie A matches producing 33.
For all of their attacking success, they are the top scorers outside the top six, they have conceded 18 times in eight matches. That is a tally that only Fiorentina can better before this week’s games and it could be the newly promoted hosts’ undoing again.
Monza have suffered 4-1 and 3-1 defeats to league leaders Inter and Lazio but have fallen to three separate 3-2 defeats, against Udinese, Lecce and Torino last time out.
A team which is leaking goals at such a rate looks vulnerable against Napoli, who have found their scoring boots as of late.
Allegri’s side may have been held by Roma on Saturday but they have now scored seven times in their last two matches and have a strong record against these opponents.
In what could be an unpredictable encounter, Napoli’s attacking might should be the difference between the two teams.
Alternative Bet: Scott McTominay anytime goalscorer @ 7/5
Scott McTominay has long turned himself into one of Napoli’s key players and their struggles to start the new season are at least in part due to his absence for minor heart surgery.
The Scotsman is back with a bang however, scoring a double against Roma last time out, and he scored the only goal when these two teams last met back in 2025.
Against what has been a leaky Monza defence, expect McTominay to find the net again.
Monza v Napoli Bet Builder Tip
Eddy Kouadio to be shown a card
Jay Robinson 1+ shot on target
Rasmus Hojlund to win 2+ fouls
Pays 17/2
Young Monza right-back Eddy Kouadio has been thrown in at the deep end this season and has already been booked twice.
The 20-year-old has committed ten fouls in seven starts and looks set for another caution against a tricky Napoli side.
Englishman Jay Robinson has really caught the eye for the hosts this season, on loan from Southampton. He has already netted twice and has six shots on target in just five starts. He is taken for another.
Napoli’s Rasmus Hojlund has been fouled seven times in his last three Serie A games and can be a real physical presence again in this clash.
