AC Milan are on a three-game winning streak in Serie A ahead of matchday No. 11 against Monza. The Rossoneri will begin the weekend three points behind first-place Napoli.
Napoli have a difficult match against Roma, while Atalanta will play Lazio. AC Milan could end the weekend in first place if results elsewhere go their way.
Monza are 14th in the Serie A standings ahead of kick-off at San Siro. The Biancorossi picked up 10 points from their opening 10 Serie A games. They are five points above the relegation zone and could move further up the table with a win at San Siro.
Milan are in fine form ahead of kick-off with 15 points from the last 18 points on offer. Stefano Pioli’s team scored 13 goals and conceded seven times across their last six matches.
The Rossoneri have played well at home with four wins from five matches. They outscored their five home opponents 12-6.
Monza picked up a brilliant 10 points from the last six games in Serie A. All 10 of Monza’s points this season came in the last six matches, as their form improved tremendously. Monza outscored their last six opponents 7-4.
The Biancorossi have not played well on the road, however. Just four points were picked up from five games away from home. Opponents have outscored Monza 9-4 on the road.
These teams have not played in Serie A or recent Coppa Italia matches. Therefore, there are no recent trends to go on ahead of the kick-off at San Siro.
Pioli has three players receiving treatment ahead of the match for round No. 11. Defender Alexis Saelemaekers has a knee injury and is out until November. Midfielder Alessandro Florenzi is out until December with a hamstring strain. Forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic remains out with a knee problem.
Monza coach Raffaele Palladino will be without Nicolo Rovella due to a suspension. Joining Rovella on the sidelines is Andrea Ranocchia. Ranocchia is nursing an ankle sprain.
AC Milan should continue their good form against Monza this weekend with a win. Milan are unbeaten in 25 of their last 26 Serie A matches. Pioli’s team is on a brilliant run of form, and it should continue this weekend.
The Rossoneri should post a 2-0 win at home and potentially move into first place. Milan will need Atlanta and Napoli to drop points to move into first place, which is possible this weekend.
