The pressure will be mounting on Inter Milan at this stage of the season, as they face a huge season-defining month of the season. Inter comes into this game sitting fifth in the standings, but a victory could take them back into the top four.
Serie A Preview
Inter Milan has endured a poor run of form in their previous fixtures in Serie A, and they come into this showdown at the San Siro having failed to win in their previous four league matches. However, Inter should be confident after landing a 2-0 success in their Champions League first leg meeting with Benfica in midweek.
The Italian giants could drop down to sixth in Serie A this weekend if they are handed a fourth defeat in five outings. Their home form would be a massive concern coming into this match, as they have lost their previous two at the San Siro. They haven’t lost three on the bounce since 2013. Inter’s ten defeats this season is also their highest at this stage of the season since 2011-12.
Monza’s position in Serie A remains comfortable, as the sit 13th in the overall standings. They have a 13-point cushion over the relegation places, and could move up eleventh with a famous away win against Inter this weekend. Over their last five matches, they have suffered just a single defeat. However, they have also won just once over that period.
Scoring goals has become a big issue for Monza at this stage of the season, as they have failed to net in three of their last seven league matches. Their defensive record has also been poor over that period, as they have allowed at least one goal in each of their last seven.
