Monza - Milan: Preview

Stefano Pioli’s men travel to Lombardy for a tricky trip

AC Milan will be looking to continue their winning start to the Serie A season when they travel to face Monza on Saturday. The Rossoneri have won their opening two games of the campaign, while Monza have drawn one and lost one.

Stefano Pioli’s side will be confident of getting a result against a newly promoted side, but they will need to be wary of the threat that Monza pose. The hosts have already shown that they are capable of causing problems for the big teams, and they will be looking to make a statement against Milan.

Key players

Milan will be without the services of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is still recovering from a knee injury. However, they have plenty of other attacking options to call upon, including Rafael Leao, Olivier Giroud, and Ante Rebic.

Monza will be looking to their star striker Christian Gytkjaer to provide the goals. The Danish forward has already scored twice in Serie A this season, and he will be looking to add to his tally against Milan.

Prediction

Milan are the clear favorites for this match, but Monza have shown that they are capable of causing problems for the big teams. The Rossoneri will need to be at their best to get a result, but they should have enough quality to win the game.
