Monza vs Udinese Preview

Monza's early-season troubles are plain to see. Sitting 18th after just one fixture, Ivan Juric's side were dismantled 4-1 by Inter on the opening weekend, a result that laid bare significant defensive frailties. Compounding matters, the coach has described his midfield situation as "critical" owing to a raft of injuries. Gustavo Varela offers a rare bright spot, having netted three goals in his first two competitive outings, but Monza need far more than individual brilliance.

Udinese travel to the U-Power Stadium in considerably healthier condition. Kosta Runjaic's men opened with a creditable 1-1 draw against Como and occupy 11th place, buoyed by a run of four consecutive wins to close last season. Their recent away record is encouraging too: unbeaten in each of their last three Serie A visits to Monza. Keinan Davis, last term's leading scorer, is fit and available, while Unai Gomez has been confirmed as a starter.

Udinese's form heading into this fixture is impossible to ignore. Four consecutive wins to close last season, followed by a credible draw at home to Como, paint the picture of a side brimming with confidence. Monza, languishing in 18th after a humbling defeat to Inter, face a midfield crisis that coach Juric himself has labelled critical. The away win at 2.38 reflects that disparity accurately.

Keinan Davis's availability gives Udinese a genuine focal point in attack, while Monza will be without key midfield personnel, with Akinsanmiro limited to a cameo at best. Runjaic's men are unbeaten in their last three visits to Monza, a record that underlines their comfort at the U-Power Stadium. Backing the away win feels well supported by both recent history and current squad strength.

The goals angle deserves attention too. Monza conceded four on the opening weekend, and their depleted engine room offers little protection. With Gustavo Varela capable of contributing at the other end, expect action at both ends. Both teams to score at 1.91 carries genuine appeal alongside the outright away selection. Odds correct at time of publication.

Trends to Know about Monza vs Udinese

• Udinese unbeaten in last four matches
• Monza's midfield depleted by injuries
• Udinese unbeaten in three Monza visits

A mirror image of formations sets the stage here, with both Monza and Udinese lining up in a 3-4-2-1. The tactical battle in the wide channels will be central, as each side's wing-backs carry significant responsibility in both attack and defence across what promises to be a tightly contested fixture.

For Monza, Andrea Colpani operating in the second line behind the striker will be a key creative outlet, while Udinese will look to Keinan Davis to hold the line and bring others into play. With both probable XIs drawn from multiple credible sources, confidence in these selections is reasonably high ahead of kickoff.
