Monza are searching for a much-needed turnaround after a difficult start to the season following their promotion.
Life back in the top flight has been difficult for Monza, who have managed just one point from their opening four matches, losing three and drawing one.
Their latest setback came in a 3-2 defeat to Lecce, leaving them in the relegation zone, with 11 goals conceded.
Monza and Sassuolo have scored under 2.5 goals in three of their last four Serie A meetings.
However, they will take confidence in their recent record against the visitors, having won their last three Serie A meetings against them.
Meanwhile, Sassuolo have made a strong start to the new season, and they sit in ninth position in the league table.
Alberto Aquilani's side have collected seven points from their first four league games, recording two victories, one draw and one defeat.
A late 3-2 triumph against Juventus extended Sassuolo's unbeaten run across all competitions to four matches.
However, despite their good start, there are still some weaknesses for Sassuolo to address, particularly in defence.
Sassuolo are unbeaten in their last four games across all competitions.
They have yet to record a Serie A clean sheet this season, while their away form remains a concern, having failed to win in their last eight away league games.
With Monza desperate to halt their slide and Sassuolo attempting to turn their strong start into sustained momentum, this encounter could provide contrasting tests for both sides.
The hosts need to rediscover their home form, while the visitors must finally find a way to convert their attacking performances into results on the road.
