Monza vs Atalanta – Tale of the Tape

| 7 | Points | 11 |

Atalanta's 1-1 home draw with Kairat on Thursday extended their winless sequence to five games, leaving Sarri under increasing pressure.
Monday's 3-0 home defeat to Parma was particularly damaging, and the visitors have just two full days to recover from their European assignment.
The fixture at least offers a psychological boost, as Atalanta have won all six Serie A meetings with Monza, including a 4-0 away victory in May 2025.
Nevertheless, their away record is worrying, with one point taken from four league trips and three defeats already suffered on the road.
Sarri also faces a lengthy injury list, with Hien, Kossounou, Bellanova, Gaetano and Kristensen among those ruled out in the latest team news.
Krstovic rescued a draw against Kairat after coming off the bench and could return to the starting line-up, although Scamacca remains an alternative.
Monza are 18th after seven defeats in ten league games, with four losses from their last five fixtures adding to Ivan Juric's concerns.
Despite their lowly position, the hosts have taken six of their seven points at home, where they beat both Sassuolo and Cagliari.
Gustavo Varela has been Monza's main source of goals, scoring nine times in his first nine Serie A appearances this season.
Monza's attacking threat should test an unsettled Atalanta back line, but the visitors have enough options going forward to make this a high-scoring away win.
