The season is still fairly new and the Serie B table has to be read with caution. So far Cittadella find themselves in 3rd position and Monza are placed 15th.

It's no vacation for neither Cittadella nor Monza as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Monza form and stats

Monza are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie B, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Monza are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played 16 in a row without losing.

Monza has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Pordenone (after extra-time, 1-4 on penalties) for a Coppa Italia game that ended a draw (0-0). A loss against Chievo was the result prior to that, in a Serie B home game.

Monza have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
