Monza – Cagliari

Monza head into the clash at the Stadio Brianteo desperate for points, sitting 18th with just one point from four games and a goal deficit of six‑to‑eleven. Cagliari, meanwhile, sit comfortably in fifth place, having amassed nine points from four matches and enjoying a positive goal difference of four‑to‑two. The contrast in form is stark – Monza have yet to taste victory, recording three defeats and a solitary draw, while Cagliari have won three of their last four, only slipping once. Historically the two sides have met infrequently, but the recent gap in league positions suggests a clear favorite in the Sardinian visitors. All eyes will be on whether Monza can turn their fortunes around or if Cagliari will extend their climb up the table.
