Monza suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat to Torino on Friday, leaving them with seven points from their opening eight matches.
The Biancorossi will therefore be eager to address their defensive weaknesses, having conceded more goals than all but Fiorentina in the league.
Despite those concerns, Ivan Juric’s men have shown considerable attacking promise, ranking among the highest-scoring sides outside the top six.
Home advantage could prove decisive, as six points in their last three league home games have come on their own turf.
Napoli, meanwhile, are enduring a disappointing campaign under veteran manager Massimiliano Allegri.
Frustrations boiled over during their dramatic 3-3 draw with Roma last weekend, when Allegri was sent off as his side squandered leads of 2-0 and 3-2.
The result left Napoli trailing the early league leaders by 11 points ahead of this round, increasing the pressure to turn their fortunes around.
Although their latest setback came at home, their struggles on the road are an even greater concern, with Napoli winless in their last four away matches across all competitions.
