Monza vs Milan Preview
Monza
Monza has had a successful season against Italian top clubs, drawing against Inter (1-1), Roma (1-1), and Fiorentina (2-2). Their only loss came in an away match against Napoli (0-2).
Alessandro Nesta’s defensive strategy allows them to effectively cover their penalty area with just 30-40 percent ball possession while executing quick counterattacks against stronger opponents.
However, when facing evenly matched teams such as Bologna, Genoa, and Venezia, Monza struggles to adopt a more attacking style. They find it more challenging to create goal-scoring opportunities in positional play than counterattacks.

Monza has managed just one win in nine matches. While the team is fairly solid defensively, having only conceded 11 goals—making it the seventh-best record in Serie A—they struggle in attack. With only 10 goals scored, they rank last in the league in terms of expected goals scored.
Although Monza excels at high-quality counter-attacks, they face significant challenges when trying to break down an organized, low defensive block.
In the upcoming match against Milan, Monza has the opportunity to adopt a comfortable ultra-defensive style with occasional counterattacks, giving them a good chance to secure points from their opponents.
Milan
Despite a rocky start to the season and defeats to Fiorentina and Napoli, Milan is still in contention for the top 4. Paulo Fonseca’s team must avoid losing points in the upcoming matches; otherwise, they risk falling too far behind competitors.
After suffering two away defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Fiorentina, Milan managed to secure victories at home against Udinese and Club Brugge. This has helped the Rossoneri improve their standings in both Serie A and the Champions League. However, a defeat to Napoli at home in round 10 caused Milan to drop to eighth place in the Serie A standings.

Milan’s away matches have only been against top-10 teams. The upcoming match against Monza will be their first away encounter with an underdog, who is expected to adopt a highly defensive strategy.
This will be an interesting test for Paulo Fonseca’s team, which has mostly faced opponents that actively attack and engage in counterplay.
Christian Pulišić continues to be the best player for Milan this season, skillfully outmaneuvering opponents and consistently providing his teammates with key passes.

Pulišić has reached peak form and is currently showcasing the best play of his career. The American regularly makes a difference for his team, and Fonseca often uses him in various positions.
In the match against Monza, it will be crucial for Milan that Pulišić frequently takes on defenders in one-on-one situations, thereby creating an imbalance in the opponent’s defense.

Monza has the capability to defend solidly against Milan by positioning their entire team near their penalty area. It will be challenging for the visitors to secure a victory, but Milan is likely to control the counterattacks from their opponents.
Moreover, Paulo Fonseca’s team boasts a significant advantage in individual skill over their rivals, so we can reasonably expect that the guests will at least avoid defeat.
