Sassuolo – Monza

Sassuolo head into the clash as the league’s ninth‑placed side with seven points from four games – two wins, a draw and a loss, and a narrow 8‑7 goal edge. Monza, languishing in 18th place, have managed just a solitary point after a draw and three defeats, their defence having leaked six goals while their attack has found the net eleven times. The home side will be looking to extend their modest lead in the table, whereas the visitors will need a turnaround to escape the relegation zone. Both teams’ contrasting form suggests a game where Sassuolo’s recent momentum could prove decisive.
