Monza-Milan is a match of the 11th day of Serie A and is played on Saturday at 8:45 p.m.: odds, prediction, live TV and streaming.
It is an “amarcord” match for a Milan side that once again came out of a highlight fixture like the challenge with Napoli at the San Siro. The Rossoneri, in part justified by some important absences – one above all that of the American Pulisic – were not able to scratch the Azzurri defense (0-2) but neither were they able to create valid scoring chances despite facing a team that consciously chose to leave them in control of the ball (61% vs. 39%).
With a game to spare (Milan has to make up the match with Bologna, postponed a week ago) the standings have become worrisome: Paulo Fonseca’s men at this moment are -11 from Napoli in the lead, but also -7 from Inter in second place. No more missteps are allowed, then, especially against opponents in reach like Monza. Match “amarcord” we said and it could not be otherwise since at the head of the Brianza club there is an unforgettable former as Alessandro Nesta and on the field the second son of a Rossoneri legend as Paolo Maldini, Daniel. Not forgetting, then, that in the stands will sit Adriano Galliani, now ad of Monza but a multi-decorated manager of Berlusconi’s Milan for more than 20 years.
There will be no room, in any case, for sentimentality: Monza is also in desperate need of points after the defeat in the midweek round with Atalanta (2-0). At the Gewiss Stadium, the Biancorossa defense held up seventy minutes only to fall under the blows of the Bergamasks (Samardzic and Zappacosta): Nesta’s lineup remains dangerously on the edge of the relegation zone, with a paltry haul of 8 points in 10 games.
Monza-Milan: the latest lineup news
The turnover continues for Nesta, who after starting Maldini and Djuric from the bench in Bergamo is ready to field them both again from 1′. Izzo and Carboni will see each other again in defense, while there should be no news in the midfield, formed by Pedro Pereira, Pessina, Bianco and Kyriakopoulos.
On the other side, Fonseca rejoins Reijnders and Theo Hernandez, both returning from disqualification, but Pulisic, who has recovered after missing the midweek match with Napoli, will also be there. Rebus Leao: the Portuguese, not brilliant in recent outings, started from the bench last Tuesday. New excellent exclusion in sight?

The Prediction
Since the Brianzoli have landed in Serie A, the tally is 3 wins for Milan and only one for Monza, which, however, won the most recent precedent (4-2 last February). There is no shortage of pitfalls for the Rossoneri, who in any case remain favorites for the three points: at least three goals total at the Brianteo.
The probable formations of Monza-Milan
MONZA (3-4-2-1): Turati; Izzo, Pablo Marì, Carboni; Pedro Pereira, Bondo, Pessina, Kyriakopoulos; Maldini, Mota; Djuric.
MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Emerson Royal, Thiaw, Tomori, Hernandez; Reijnders, Fofana; Chukwueze, Pulisic, Leao; Morata.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
