Monza vs Lazio Best Pick, Prediction and Odds
No bet on Monza at Lazio. Monza have 3 away games this season, fewer than the 6 the method needs, and no away record of 4 games or more from last season in this league.
DraftKings has Lazio at -185, the draw at +290 and Monza at +450. With the book’s 8.7% margin taken out, that is 59.7% for Lazio, 23.6% for the draw and 16.7% for Monza. We have no number to set against it, so there is no gap to measure.
Why there is no number
The method in one clause: each side’s expected goals are its scoring rate at the venue times the opponent’s conceding rate at the other venue, each measured against the league average, and a Poisson count of goals turns the two figures into home, draw and away. It uses a side’s record at the venue this season from 6 games.
When a side has fewer than 6 this season, the method takes its record at the same venue from last season. Monza have neither. They have 3 away games in 2026-27, and they do not appear in ESPN’s 2025-26 Serie A table, so there is no away record to borrow. Lazio have 2 home games this season and would take their 19-game home record from 2025-26.
That home record was 8-6-5, wins first, with 1.42 scored and 1.32 conceded a game. This season Lazio are 1-1-0 at home. Monza are 0-1-2 away, with 4 scored and 8 conceded in 3 games.
The table, this season and last
Five games in, Lazio are 3rd of 20 with 13 points, 4-1-0, and have conceded 3 goals. Monza are 16th with 4 points, 1-1-3, and have conceded 12. Last season Lazio finished 9th with 54 points from 38 games.
Lazio’s 3 away wins this season came with 1 goal conceded. Their 2025-26 away record was 6-6-7. Five games are too few to say which of those seasons this one resembles.
Pick: no bet
No bet on the result. Monza have 3 away games and no earlier Serie A away record in ESPN’s tables, three short of the 6 the method needs.

What changes it
Three more Monza away games. With 6 away this season, the method runs, but that cannot happen before this game is played.
This page states nothing about either lineup on 11 October. Check the team news before you bet.
The total and the last meetings
The total is 2.5 goals, over -120 and under -110. With the margin out, that prices the over at 51.0%. Monza’s games this season went over 2.5 in 4 of 5 and Lazio’s in 2 of 5. We have no Poisson count for this game, and the total is never a bet on these pages.
Monza have not beaten Lazio in the last five meetings ESPN holds: Lazio won three and two were drawn, the latest 5-1 at Lazio on 9 February 2025. They are not in the method.
