🗞️ Team News: Monza

It seems likely that Brianzoli should make use of the 3-4-2-1 system in the match and select Michele Di Gregorio, Armando Izzo, Pablo Mari, Andrea Carboni, Samuele Birindelli, Alessio Zerbin, Matteo Pessina, Roberto Gagliardini, Andrea Colpani, Dany Mota and Milan Djuric.

ℹ️ Team News: Atalanta

Out of a mainly available group, there’s only the one fitness worry for the Atalanta gaffer Gian Gasperini to be concerned about. Giorgio Scalvini (Hamstring muscle injury) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that La Dea seem likely to elect for a 3-4-1-2 lineup, starting the game with Marco Carnesecchi, Berat Djimsiti, Isak Hien, Sead Kolasinac, Davide Zappacosta, Matteo Ruggeri, Ederson, Marten de Roon, Teun Koopmeiners, Gianluca Scamacca and Ademola Lookman.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that Monza are dangerous enough to breach the defence of this Atalanta lineup, but a single goal may not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re therefore tipping both teams to score in a 1-2 winning margin for Atalanta at the end of the match.
