Monza, Recent FormMonza were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Lazio. During that encounter they had 51% possession and had 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 8 shots on goal.
Manager Raffaelle Palladino will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They've been performing well at The U-Power Stadium of late, with an unbeaten record of 5 games from 6, 3 of which were wins.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Monza, Andrea Colpani will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Bologna, Recent FormBologna will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Napoli, which ran out a 0-0 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Napoli had 12 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
There will be mixed feelings from I Rossoblù, having been undefeated in their last 5 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
On an individual basis, Lewis Ferguson is giving Bologna's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Bologna who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-1 to Monza.
There is only really one injury concern for the Monza manager Raffaelle Palladino ahead of this clash, with Gianluca Caprari (Knee) missing out, which gives Palladino a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Alexis Saelemaekers (Muscle) and Adama Soumaoro (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Thiago Motta will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
