Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (80018 seats)

Serie A: Top-notch versus second-rate, at least based on the league table. Milan - Monza. Home win or a shock result?

Insights:
  • Milan have scored in all their home matches so far.
  • Monza have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

Monza could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Coppa Italia game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Udinese, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Monza.

Milan form and stats

4-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Milan so far this season.

Happy days for Milan in their previous game, a fixture away at Hellas Verona (placed 18th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Rebić, who usually features in attack, was the champion player for the team in that match, scoring a rating of 8.0 (out of 10). Rebić served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Preceding that result, a home defeat in the Champions League against Chelsea. Milan are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 11 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 8, drew 2 and lost 1.

Milan are traveling soon after this match as the Champions League match at Dinamo Zagreb awaits in three days.

Milan can score goals in their home matches. After 5 league matches they have found the net 12 times. Milan have conceded 6 in these home matches.

Monza form and stats

1-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Monza in their Serie A matches away.

Two travels in a row for Monza, whose boss Palladino could celebrate last time after the Coppa Italia win against Udinese. That loss was their first after four consecutive league rounds winning points. Attacker Colpani got a player rating of 7.44 in the game. "Man of the match" Colpani hit two key passes and had 24 successful passes (of 26 total).

It was a Serie A defeat before that one as the away game against Empoli wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Monza as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. Monza struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 9 goals conceded from these games. Monza has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

Milan-Monza H2H statistics last two meetings regardless of arena: Milan two wins, Monza zero wins, zero draws. two of these two matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
