Monza are looking to impress their home supporters tonight at the U-Power Stadium [Stadio Brianteo] in Monza after a disappointing 3-0 defeat to the home side, Roma, at Stadio Olimpico Rome last week – Tuesday, August 30 despite having a vast percentage of the possession.
Monza enjoyed 61% of the possession in that game but only one of their 13 shots on goal were on target. Roma had 14 shots, seven of which were on target. Roma’s goals were scored by Paulo Dybala (18′, 32′), and Roger Ibaez (61′).
The last time Monza displayed defensive steel was on a rare occasion. They will be concerned having allowed opponents to score in six of their past six games, surrendering 16 goals in the process.
However, the trend may not continue in today’s match. Prior to this encounter, Monza’s last two league games at home ended in losses.
Atalanta will enter the match fresh off a 3-1 Serie A victory against Torino in their previous match. Atalanta had 41% of the possession in that game and made 12 efforts on goal, with five of them the on target.

Teun Koopmeiners was the lone player for Atlanta to register a goal (45′, 47′, 84′). Torino made 8 attempts on goal with 2 of them being on target at the opposing end. Torino scored thanks to Nikola Vlai (77′).
A remarkably low number of goals have been scored between Atalanta and their opponents in 5 of the last 6 meetings.
The overall average of goals scored each game over that time is a pitiful 2, with La Dea averaging 1.17 goals per game.
