After falling 11 points behind the Serie A leaders by losing in midweek, AC Milan aim to get straight back on track when they make the short trip to Monza on Saturday.

AC Milan: 

Reeling from a 2-0 defeat by league leaders Napoli, AC Milan travel to Monza eager to rebound. The loss extended Milan's gap to the top of Serie A to 11 points, intensifying scrutiny on manager Paulo Fonseca, whose side now sits eighth in the standings. Fonseca’s team has struggled for consistency, with five defeats in 12 games across all competitions, and rumors of internal tension persist, particularly after Portuguese star Rafael Leao was benched midweek. Milan’s win over Club Brugge in the Champions League was a bright spot, but the Rossoneri need a positive result against Monza to ease the mounting pressure ahead of an even tougher Champions League test against Real Madrid.

Monza: 

Under the leadership of Milan legend Alessandro Nesta, Monza will aim for another upset after last season’s dramatic 4-2 victory over their Lombardy rivals. Though currently near the relegation zone, Monza recently notched their first league win, sparking a three-game unbeaten streak and progress in the Coppa Italia. Despite a midweek 2-0 loss to Atalanta, where they held their opponents scoreless for over an hour, Nesta’s side has shown resilience. Monza will hope to channel that fighting spirit to once again frustrate a Milan side under pressure, aiming to pull further clear of the relegation zone with a surprise result on home turf.

Prediction: 1-2
