Monza vs. Milan: Current situation
Following their team in the Serie A is all that Monza’s fans need, but it is not easy to see the team struggling after a solid season last year. Alessandro Nesta was known as one of the best defenders in the history of football and has implemented that playing style to his footballers, and that approach has won them some points this season.
Milan came into this season with a couple of additions hoping that it will give them a chance to win the Scudetto, but only ten games into the season, that seems like an impossible task. Milan lacks the confidence we saw in the game against the city rival and has been just a shadow of what we saw from them against Inter. The visit to Monza seems to come at the right time, but last season they returned empty-handed from that trip.
Monza Stats & Form
Monza is in 17th place in the standings just over the relegation zone with 8 points in 10 games. They have won only one game against Verona on the road, and the home fans are still looking for the first celebration. Monza is pretty tough when playing at home, fully focusing on defense, which will most likely be their strategy for this game as well.
Milan Stats & Form
We have seen two different faces from Milan this season, as Paulo Fonseca’s team has gone from being unstoppable in the offense to just an average team that lacks creativity. That was especially obvious in their last game against Napoli, where they could not create a real chance even though they had more than 60% of the possession. Milan won only one of four games on the road this season, and that stat needs to improve when they visit Monza.
Monza – Milan: Head to Head
Monza and Milan have played nine times before. Milan won 7 of those, Monza once and one game finished in a tie. Last season in Serie A, both teams won at home, Milan by 3-0 and Monza by 4-2. The last four games between the two finished over 2.5 goals in total.
Monza – Milan Odds
Milan is the favorite to win this game with the odds of 1.70 at 22bet. The visiting team is given 4.68 while the draw is at 3.98. The total goal line is set at 2.5 with 1.76 for over and 2.10 for under.

Betting tip and prediction: Monza - Milan (02.11.2024)
After a solid start off the season, Milan has significantly dropped in the standings and now is more close to the middle of the league than to the spots that lead to the Champions League. Dropping two of the last three league games is not acceptable for any team that has high aspiration for the season. The home 2-0 loss to Napoli showed all the vulnerabilities this team still has, and now Milan fans have already forgotten about the impressive win against the city rival Inter. Milan is traveling to Monza next, a place where they suffered one of the toughest losses last season. That was Monza’s first win ever in Serie A and a game that will forever be written in the club’s history books. Just being in the top tier of Italian football is a big deal for the small team from the city widely known for racing rather than football. Monza has only one win in ten games so far in the season and hopes for another epic victory against the famous rival. That will be pretty difficult, not just because of the quality gap between the two rosters but also because Monza will be without four important players. Striker Andrea Petagna, midfielders Daniel Maldini and Roberto Gagliardini, and defender Samuele Birindelli are all unavailable to head coach Alessandro Nesta, who will need to make a miracle against the team where he became a real football legend. Milan also has problems going into this game, as strikers Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham, midfielder Ismael Bennacer, and defenders Davide Calabria and Matteo Gabbia are all out. Still, Milan has plenty of guys ready to step up, and they have no other options but to go aggressive on this visit. Monza will try to slow down the pace and escape undefeated but will not give anything easy to the visitors. Anyway, Milan is with their back against the wall, and Paulo Fonseca’s team will respond the right way and win this game.
