Monza vs Udinese Match Analysis & Prediction
09/12/2024 10:45 pm
Both looking to end their long wait for a Serie A victory, Monza and Udinese will meet at U-Power Stadium on Monday night.
After making numerous changes to his lineup on Tuesday night, Alessandro Nesta watched his unfamiliar XI getting picked apart by a recently-revived Bologna side, conceding twice in each half to crash out of the Coppa Italia.
Two of the club’s three wins all season have come in the cup, and with just one victory in Serie A since Nesta took charge, time could be running out on his reign.
With just 10 points to their name so far, Monza are surely set for a season-long survival fight, having secured mid-table finishes in both previous to-flight campaigns since their groundbreaking promotion two years ago.
Although Gianluca Caprari’s spot kick secured them a share of the points with local rivals and fellow strugglers Como last week, they have now won just one of their last 23 league matches and are stuck in a downward spiral.
Among teams still in Serie A, Monza have been waiting the longest for a home win – 11 matches – and they are also averaging below one goal per game this season.
Udinese will head into the contest amid a miserable run of form, having lost four of their last five matches, including last week’s 2-0 home defeat to Genoa, in which Isaak Toure was sent off after just four minutes.
A meagre tally of seven points from 10 matches – having claimed 10 from their first four – has featured just one on the road, taken from last month’s draw in Empoli.
Monza vs. Udinese Head to head
In the previous five meetings between these two teams, they have claimed one victory each while drawing in three.

Having rotated his squad in midweek, Nesta will revert to his strongest available starting XI, so top scorer Milan Djuric and defensive mainstay Pablo Mari should return on Monday night.

Udinese Team News
Udinese’s longstanding formation is in some doubt ahead of their trip to Lombardy, after Kosta Runjaic switched to a four-man defence last week, when they were without suspended centre-back Jaka Bijol.
