Udinese – Monza

Udinese host a struggling Monza as the 13th‑placed Italians look to build on their modest return of four points from a win, a draw and a loss, with a balanced 5‑5 goal tally. Monza, languishing in 18th spot with just one point from a single draw and three defeats and a leaky 6‑11 record, will need to tighten up at the back if they hope to climb out of the relegation zone. The two sides have yet to meet this season, but Udinese’s recent victory gives them a psychological edge heading into the clash. A win for the home side could see them inch closer to the mid‑table, while Monza will be desperate for any points to keep survival hopes alive.
