Monza

LDDLDD 📉

Monza head into this game coming off the back of a 1-1 Serie A drawn game vs Inter Milan.

In that game, Monza managed 40% possession and 5 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. The scorer for Monza was Dany Mota (81'). At the other end, Inter Milan had 16 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Denzel Dumfries (88') was the scorer for Inter Milan.

Fewer than three goals per match were recorded in 5 of the past 6 meetings where Monza have been involved. With regard to the goal distribution in this period, opposition teams scored an aggregate of 6 while Monza totted up 3. Nonetheless, time will tell if that pattern will be maintained in this next match.

A look at their previous results shows us that Monza:

• are unbeaten in the league by Bologna in their last 3 matches.
• have not registered a win against Bologna in their last 2 league games.
• are without a home win in the past 6 league matches. Fans are getting restless.

Bologna

LDLDDD 📉

Previously, Bologna drew 0-0 in the Champions League match with Shakhtar Donetsk.

In that game, Bologna had 48% possession and 17 attempts on goal with 4 on target. On the other side, Shakhtar Donetsk got 4 shots on goal with 1 of them on target.

The strike force from Bologna have had real problems scoring goals in their past 6 games, contributing the poor return of only 4. In those matches, Rossoblu have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 9.

Going into this one, Bologna are without a win away from home in their last 3 league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Monza

Roberto Gagliardini (unknown injury), Patrick Ciurria (Meniscus injury), Samuele Vignato (Muscle fatigue) and Alessio Cragno (Shoulder injury) will not be able to play for Monza boss Alessandro Nesta.

We think that Brianzoli could opt for a 3-4-2-1 formation with Stefano Turati, Armando Izzo, Pablo Mari, Andrea Carboni, Pedro Pereira, G. Kyriakopoulos, Matteo Pessina, Warren Bondo, Daniel Maldini, Dany Mota and Milan Djuric.

ℹ️ Team News: Bologna

Bologna manager Vincenzo Italiano has some current player fitness concerns. Nicolò Cambiaghi (Cruciate ligament surgery), Oussama El Azzouzi (Knee injury), Tommaso Pobega (Inner ligament stretch of the knee) and Lewis Ferguson (Cruciate ligament surgery) miss out here.

We reckon that Rossoblu appear most likely to play in a 4-3-3 system by sending out Federico Ravaglia, Stefan Posch, Jhon Lucumi, Nicolo Casale, Juan Miranda, Michel Aebischer, Remo Freuler, Nikola Moro, Samuel Iling-Junior, Thijs Dallinga and Dan Ndoye.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the view that Monza will have a tough ask to register a score against this Bologna lineup who we think will likely win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

That’s why our selection here is for a good tussle with a 0-1 winning margin for Bologna at the end of the match.

Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
