Cagliari – Monza

Cagliari host a struggling Monza on Saturday, looking to extend their early‑season momentum after three straight wins that have lifted them to fourth place with nine points and a tidy 4‑2 goal difference. The Sardinian side will be keen to keep their unbeaten run intact, while Monza sit second‑from‑bottom with just a single point from a draw and three defeats, having conceded eleven goals while only finding the net six times. The clash pits a compact, confident Cagliari defense against a Monza outfit desperate for their first win and a crucial lift in the table. Historically, the two clubs have met infrequently this campaign, but the disparity in form suggests a comfortable home victory for the hosts. A win would see Cagliari close the gap on the leaders, whereas Monza will need a miracle to avoid slipping further into the relegation zone.
