Bologna made a major statement in midweek by becoming the first team to defeat AC Milan in Serie A this season.
They recorded an impressive 4-2 victory that also marked their third win in their last four league matches.
That positive run has shifted the focus towards a potential push for European qualification rather than concerns about relegation.
However, their performances at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara remain a significant concern, with just one victory from their last 10 home league games.
Bologna have just two points from 12 on offer on home turf this term, so Vincenzo Italiano’s men will be eager to address that weakness here.
Monza, meanwhile, travel to Emilia-Romagna in desperate need of a response after suffering three defeats in their last four Serie A outings.
Their latest setback came in midweek, when they were thrashed 4-1 by Napoli, leaving them only two points clear of the relegation zone ahead of this round.
Defensive frailties have been a major factor in their struggles, with the Biancorossi already conceding 22 league goals this season.
Their problems have been even more pronounced on the road, where they have shipped 14 goals across five away league fixtures.
Unsurprisingly, Monza are still searching for their first away victory of the campaign, having managed just one draw and suffered four defeats.
