AC Milan VS Monza Live Guidline

AC Milan made a stunning comeback against Newcastle in the Champions League, with goals from Christian Pulisic and Samu Chukwueze overturning a 1-0 halftime deficit, but PSG's draw meant they now enter the Europa League's knockout phase. Returning to Serie A, Milan faces a challenging festive period after a recent defeat to Atalanta, leaving them nine points behind Inter Milan in third place. Manager Stefano Pioli is under scrutiny due to three losses in the last seven league matches and a susceptibility to conceding late goals, raising concerns about the team's defensive stability.

Monza, having lost both Serie A encounters with Milan last season, is now determined to secure their first victory over their Lombardy neighbors since gaining promotion. With a recent strong performance, Raffaele Palladino's team, unbeaten in half of their last 12 league matches, looks to continue their positive streak after a win against Genoa. Despite approaching Serie A's midway point comfortably in mid-table, Monza faces a challenging end to 2023, including fixtures against Fiorentina and Napoli after their clash with Milan at San Siro.
