After both sides were unable to turn promising opportunities into victory on the opening matchday, they search for their first Serie A win of the season.
Monza showed plenty of fight against defending champions Inter Milan last week, going into half-time level before a second-half collapse saw them suffer a 4-1 defeat.
After being relegated without much resistance in 2024/25 and now returning to the top flight, the Biancorossi would look to get back on their feet after the loss to avoid another relegation battle.
They had decent pre-season preparation, losing just once, winning two and drawing one in their last four games.
They took that form into their Coppa Italia clash, beating Avellino 3-0 at home earlier this month, but their recent opening-day loss saw their morale drop.
Udinese, meanwhile, were unable to hold on to their lead in a 1-1 draw against Como last week.
However, Kosta Runjaic’s side could take plenty of positives from their display against a team that finished in the top four last season.
Udinese will now look to continue their impressive record away to Monza, having stayed unbeaten in their last three meetings.
Away from home was a productive place for Udinese last season, with 27 of their 50 points coming on the road.
Their only defeat in their last six Serie A away matches came against Napoli in the last game of the 2025/2026 season.
