Armand Laurienté (Knee Surgery) and Agustín Álvarez (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be available for Sassuolo gaffer Alessio Dionisi.

In our view, Sassuolo should opt for a 4-3-3 system for this one, utilising Andrea Consigli, Jeremy Toljan, Martin Erlic, Gian Marco Ferrari, Rogerio, Davide Frattesi, Maxime Lopez, Matheus Henrique, Domenico Berardi, Andrea Pinamonti and Gregoire Defrel.

Thanks to a completely healthy squad available to choose from, the Monza boss Raffaelle Palladino has zero fitness concerns at all before this match.

We reckon that Brianzoli seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting Michele Di Gregorio, Giulio Donati, Pablo Mari, Luca Caldirola, Patrick Ciurria, Carlos Augusto, Matteo Pessina, Nicolo Rovella, Dany Mota, Gianluca Caprari and Andrea Petagna.
