Monza preview: A three-year stay nears its end
Monza have been a worthy addition to Serie A since their promotion to the Italian top flight in 2022 but after two midtable finishes, they have nosedived this season and can have no complains about their impending relegation. They will now look to make the most of the final eight games of the season as there are no guarantees they will be back any time soon.

Como preview: Mission accomplished
In what is Como's first season back in the Italian top flight, they have achieved what they set out to do and that was to remain in the division. While mathematically they could still go down, they have almost certainly done enough and credit should go to Cesc Fabregas who is performing admirably in his first head coach role since retiring.

Player to watch: Nico Paz
Nobody in Como's colours has taken their chances at a high enough rate to establish themselves as the club's leading man and with just eight games of the season left to play, they are all running out of time if they want to convince the club not to spend big on a striker in the summer. Nico Paz is arguably the best of the bunch but he needs to add more goals.
