If you’re looking for a Monza vs Pescara prediction that goes beyond the usual stats, you’ve landed in the right place. On January 24, 2026, at precisely 14:00 GMT, the U-Power Stadium will host a Serie B encounter between two teams with very different seasons so far. Monza, sitting comfortably in third, welcome Pescara, who are currently propping up the table in twentieth. But as any football fan knows, the league table never tells the whole story—especially in Italy’s notoriously unpredictable second tier.
Monza, known for their ambitious project and recent flirtations with the top flight, have been putting together a solid campaign. Their recent form—two wins, two draws, and two losses in the last six outings—suggests a team that’s steady but not invincible. Their most recent head-to-head encounter with Pescara ended in a 2-0 win for the hosts, a result that will surely boost their confidence going into this one.
Pescara, on the other hand, are in a survival fight. With just one win from their last six, alongside two draws and three defeats, it’s been a tough winter for the visitors. Still, they showed plenty of grit by snatching a 2-2 draw away at Juve Stabia as heavy underdogs, proving they can be stubborn opponents when the chips are down.
Looking at the head to head record, things are surprisingly even. Both sides have three wins apiece, with two draws thrown in for good measure. So while Monza might look like clear favorites on paper, history reminds us not to write off Pescara just yet.
Monza’s squad, valued at a healthy €45.33 million, does have a few knocks to manage. Pedro Obiang and Omari Forson are both struggling with injuries, while Armando Izzo has only just made it back to the bench after a thigh problem. Dany Mota’s status is still up in the air, which could be a concern if the game turns tight.
Pescara’s problems run a little deeper. Leonardo Graziani and Andrew Gravillon are sidelined, and the likes of Faraoni, Tsadjout, and Merola are also out of action. Add to that Filippo Pellacani’s long-term absence and Luca Valzania’s suspension, and it’s clear that manager Giorgio Gorgone will need to get creative with his lineup.
Paolo Bianco, Monza’s boss since last summer, tends to favor a balanced game plan—expect plenty of passing, width, and a high press to force mistakes. Gorgone, meanwhile, inherited a side with a legacy of swashbuckling, all-out attack from former coach Zdenek Zeman. While that approach is thrilling, it can leave gaps at the back—something Monza’s forwards will be eager to exploit.
As of January 20, there haven’t been any spicy pre-match comments from either camp, but you can bet both managers will be feeling the pressure: Monza to keep their promotion push on track, and Pescara to claw their way out of danger.
Let’s dig into the numbers, as our AI has crunched all the data to offer its best Monza vs Pescara prediction. Bookmakers have made Monza overwhelming favorites, with odds of 1.44 for a home win, 4.85 for a draw, and a whopping 8.5 if you fancy Pescara to cause an upset. Our recommended tip? Back the home side (1) at odds of 1.44, with a trust rating of 5.3 out of 10—so not quite a “put your house on it” scenario, but still the safest option on the board.
As for the 1x2 market, the prediction is firmly behind Monza, again with a confidence of 5.3 and odds of 1.44. The AI also leans towards over 2.5 goals (odds 1.7, trust level 4.3), expecting this to be a lively affair. The projected final score is 2-1 in favor of Monza, with a 1-1 draw at halftime—suggesting that Pescara might put up a fight before the hosts pull away after the break.
Possession-wise, Monza are expected to dominate the ball (62% to 38%), reflecting their more technical style. Shots are forecast at 16 for the home side and 11 for Pescara, with Monza likely to test the keeper five times and Pescara three. Corners should be fairly even, with a slight edge to Monza (5-4), while the card count could be low—just one yellow for the home team and two for the visitors.
Putting it all together, the Monza vs Pescara prediction is clear: the home side should have enough quality, depth, and tactical discipline to see off a depleted Pescara. However, given the visitors’ fighting spirit and unpredictable head to head record, don’t be surprised if they make Monza work for the points. For betting tips, the home win is the safest bet, while over 2.5 goals could offer extra value if you fancy a more open game.
In the end, expect Monza to keep their promotion dreams alive, but don’t rule out a spirited showing from the visitors. After all, Serie B has a habit of turning even the most confident predictions on their head.
