Monza vs Sassuolo Preview

Monza's struggles this season have been painful to watch. Rooted in 18th place, they have managed just a single point from four league outings, with only one win punctuating a run dominated by defeats. Defensive vulnerabilities are glaring; six goals conceded from corners alone tell their own story. Ivan Jurić continues to favour a 3-4-2-1 shape, but the system has offered little protection so far at the U-Power Stadium.

Sassuolo travel to Lombardy in a far healthier state, sitting 9th with seven points from four matches. Alberto Aquilani's side produced a superb 3-2 comeback victory over Juventus last weekend, a result that underlined their attacking quality and mental resilience. Two draws and a defeat prevent them from being considered title contenders, yet their consistency has been impressive. Few changes are expected from the manager after that statement performance.

Sassuolo's away win at 2.40 stands out as the headline selection. Monza have managed just one point from four outings and remain rooted in the relegation places at 18th. Their defensive record is alarming, with six goals conceded from corners alone this season. Sassuolo, by contrast, sit 9th after collecting seven points, and their confidence will be sky-high following that thrilling 3-2 triumph over Juventus.

Alberto Aquilani is unlikely to tinker with a winning formula, and that continuity gives Sassuolo a tactical edge over a Monza side still searching for cohesion under Ivan Juric's 3-4-2-1 shape. The hosts' set-piece vulnerability could prove decisive against a Sassuolo attack that looked sharp and clinical last weekend. Backing the visitors feels well supported by the form gap between these two sides.

The over 2.5 goals market at 1.88 also merits attention. Monza's porous defence invites pressure, and Sassuolo have shown they can score freely when given space. With the hosts likely to push forward in search of a first win, gaps should open at both ends. Both teams to score at 1.62 complements the selection nicely. Odds correct at time of publication.

Trends to Know about Monza vs Sassuolo

• Monza collected just one point from four
• Sassuolo beat Juventus 3-2 last weekend
• Monza conceded six goals from corners

A 3-4-2-1 against a 4-3-3 sets up an intriguing width battle at the U-Power Stadium. Monza's double-ten shape behind Zeballos asks Andrea Colpani to thread between Sassuolo's midfield trio, where the experienced Nemanja Matić will look to screen and disrupt.

For Sassuolo, Domenico Berardi operating on the right channel could expose Monza's wing-backs in transition, and Laurienté provides a matching threat on the opposite flank. Both probable XIs carry similar confidence levels across multiple credible outlets, so the tactical picture here is as clear as it gets before kick-off.
