Struggling Cosenza will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Monza in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Cosenza have the fewest scored goals in the second half (14) in Serie B
  • Monza have the fewest conceded goals (31) in Serie B

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Cosenza and Monza.

Monza have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Relegation threatens Cosenza who should definitely be looking for some points here. Monza are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Cosenza form and stats

With 3 Serie B wins, 9 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Cosenza are certainly not brimming with confidence.

In their previous game, the manager R. Occhiuzzi led his Cosenza to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Empoli. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Pescara in a game that was won 3-0.

As you see from the result above, Cosenza suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

The manager R. Occhiuzzi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Pordenone in only three days.

Cosenza have scored 15 league goals here from 18 matches, not a lot. Cosenza are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 17 from 18 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
