There's been little loot from Monza's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the Serie B. Monza only have 0 wins to counter their 2 defeats and 5 draws. It's three draws from Monza's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Impressive finishing from José Machín and Dany Mota (2) secured the home win 3-2 against Como in their previous game. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager G. Stroppa when José Machín scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute. Attacker Dany Mota got a player rating of 8.51 in the game. "Man of the match" Mota scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

A quick return to home after this game, as Monza are hosting Cosenza in the Serie B only three days away.
