Preview

Match preview

Monza host Udinese in Serie A matchday 2 looking to rebound from a heavy 4-1 defeat away to Inter in their league opener. The home side enters the round in 19th place with zero points and faces several selection headaches, with key figures including M. Pessina, I. Toure, E. Akinsanmiro, and L. Colombo sidelined through injury.

Udinese kicked off their league campaign with a 1-1 draw at home against Como, placing them 11th in the early standings. The visitors also deal with notable absences, as C. Kabasele serves a suspension following a red card, while N. Zaniolo, K. Davis, G. Chakvetadze, A. Zanoli, and M. Palma remain unavailable due to injuries.

Historically, this matchup has favoured the visiting team. In three previous Serie A clashes hosted by Monza, the home side has failed to secure a victory, recording one draw and two defeats. Across all seven head-to-head meetings, both teams have scored in 85.7% of fixtures with an average of 2.86 goals per game.

Udinese or Draw
72%
Confidence

Udinese hold a solid record at the U-Power Stadium, having recorded two wins and one draw in three head-to-head visits without suffering a defeat. Monza started their campaign with a 4-1 loss to Inter and are missing several first-team players including M. Pessina and L. Colombo. Given Udinese's resilience in their opening 1-1 draw and historical success away to Monza, backing Udinese or Draw provides a solid probabilistic position.
