Monza vs Milan prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 2, 2024
In the 11th round of Italy’s Serie A, Monza will face AC Milan. The match is set for Saturday, November 2, with kickoff at 20:45 Central European Time. I suggest a bet on the total goals in this match.
Monza
Monza’s performance has improved recently, allowing them to gain important points. This uptick in results helps Nesta retain his position for now, but the schedule remains unforgiving.
Monza managed to collect points in three consecutive games, though they lost their last match against Atalanta. The level of their upcoming opponent is also significantly higher, but Monza could still pull off a surprise.
AC Milan
While it may be too harsh to call it a failure, it’s likely that Paulo Fonseca’s time with Milan won’t last long. Just a quarter of the way through the season, it’s already apparent that the Rossoneri won’t be contending for the Scudetto.
Milan has been inconsistent and unable to compete evenly with top teams. Their match against Inter was an exception, but the recent game against Napoli clarified their position. Some of the manager’s lineup decisions are surprising, and the players are struggling with finishing.
Match Facts
- Monza has both scored and conceded in five consecutive home matches.
- Milan has won only one away game this season.
- Monza averages 1.6 goals per game at home, while Milan averages 1.2 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Monza: Turati, Carboni, Marí, Izzo, Pereira, Pessina, Kyriakopoulos, Mota, Caprari, Maldini, Djuric.
- Milan: Maignan, Theo Hernandez, Pavlovic, Tomori, Emerson, Reijnders, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek, Leao, Pulisic, Morata.
Head-to-Head
The teams have played only four matches against each other, with Milan winning three and Monza one.
Prediction
Monza has a decent chance to take points from a struggling Milan. There’s no doubt that the team will approach this game with the right mindset. My bet will be on a total of under 3 goals.
