Inter Milan will be aiming to build on their stunning win over the league leaders Napoli after Simeone Inzaghi's men registered arguably their best result of the season before a trip to the Brianteo Stadium where a struggling Monza awaits them.
Despite sitting 15th in the table still, Monza have managed to turn around their form quite drastically since October as they now sit with five wins from 16 games.
Their famous win over Juventus at home still rings around the Brianteo Stadium quite heavily, and this was part of a previous three-game winning run that saw them beat Sampdoria 3-0 and Spezia 2-0, as they scored six goals in three games, won them all and conceded no goals.
Monza have gone on to beat only Hellas Verona and Salernitana since in Serie A, although they did defeat Lyon in a friendly during the World Cup break and Arconatese too. A loss to Torino knocked them down a peg just before Serie A action resumed.
The 15th-placed side went on the road to Florence in their competitive comeback game, where Carlos Augusto scored in the second half to equalise in a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina.
The club now sit a comfortable eight points above the bottom three and the fears of relegation have eased tremendously in the past two months.
Inter are now up into fourth after their best win of the season. The San Siro side beat the league leaders Napoli at home in what was the first time the Naples outfit had lost in Italy this season and Inter are now the only team alongside Liverpool to beat them in all competitions.
It puts Inzaghi's men on 11 wins and five losses after 16 games, as his side are still yet to draw a game. Edin Dzeko was the hero in the 1-0 win, as he smashed in a header to score Inter's 35th goal of the season - they are now just two goals behind Napoli.
The Milan outfit remain eight points behind Napoli in first, but they are now just three adrift of rivals AC Milan in second and one behind Juventus in third. Simply put, if Milan and Juventus are in a title race with Napoli, so are Inter all of sudden.
Forebet predicts a win for Inter here and for the game to see under 2.5 goals, as they ramp up their title quest.
