The Coppa Italia opener brings two Serie B clubs who know each other well onto the Monza turf, with the season barely started and both squads still shaking off the summer rust. Monza have been free-scoring in pre-season, putting up 14 goals across five friendlies, while Avellino arrive having won 4 of their last 5, though that 24-0 demolition of Castal di Sangro skews every aggregate. Strip that freak result out and the picture is more balanced. In the two meetings that count this cycle, each side has won on home soil, both games ending with goals at both ends. Monza's home advantage, cleaner squad depth at this level and the cup context point to a home win. At 1.62, this is not a gift price, but for a side with 3 wins in 5 pre-season outings and hosting a third-tier visitor, it carries real value. Back Monza to win at 1.62.
