Roma on the verge of three successive victories as Monza clash looms.
AC Monza, still hunting for their first victory of the Serie A season, takes on an optimistic AS Roma this Sunday at Stadio Brianteo, as both teams seek redemption and momentum in their respective campaigns.
Monza
The only team yet to record a victory in the 2024-2025 Serie A campaign, AC Monza [LDDLL], sits at the bottom of the table as they prepare to face Roma. The latest episode of their underwhelming season was a 2-0 defeat to Napoli last weekend.
First-half goals from Matteo Politano [22’] and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia [33’] were all it took to sink the White and Reds, handing them their third league defeat of the season. Alessandro Nesta will be looking to turn a corner this weekend in search of his first league win in charge of the club.
Monza will aim to avoid an unwanted record, which could see them fail to win any of their first seven games of the season for the first time in Serie A. However, their form in the league casts doubts on their ability to secure all three points this weekend.
Monza have not won any of their last 15 matches in the league [0W, 6D, 9L], with their last win dating back to March against Cagliari [1-0]. The Brianza team has not recorded a longer winless streak in the league since a 16-match run between December 2014 and April 2015 in Serie C.
Nesta will most likely deploy the familiar 3—4—2—1 formation, with Milan Đurić in attack.
Roma
Roma are coming off a 1-0 defeat to Elfsborg in the Europa League, where a penalty from Michael Baidoo handed Ivan Jurić his first loss as the manager. Despite the setback, Jurić praised his team's performance, stating, 'The team did a lot of positive things. I saw a completely different game: we did many things well.' However, he also acknowledged areas needing improvement ahead of Sunday’s league game against Monza.
Roma have been successful in Serie A recently, recording two consecutive wins. They secured a convincing 3-0 victory against Udinese, followed by a hard-fought 2-1 win over Venezia, positioning them in ninth place, just one point behind eighth-placed Udinese.
The Giallorossi aim to extend their winning streak to three games this weekend when they travel to Monza. With a positive track record of three wins and a draw in their last four encounters with Monza, Roma are in a strong position. Interestingly, Jurić’s team could become the first that Monza has faced five times in the tournament without ever winning.
However, Roma's record against Lombard teams remains challenging, with eight losses in their last 14 matches. A strategic formation of 3—4—2—1 might be seen this weekend, potentially featuring Artem Dovbyk in attack.
