Preview
- Date: Sunday, October 6
- Kick-off Time: 4:00 pm GMT
- Venue: U-Power Stadium, Monza, Italy
Monza will be welcoming Italian giants, Roma for a round seven clash in Serie A 2024/25 on Sunday. The hosts are unfortunately all the way down at the bottom of the league table with only three points in six games while Roma is climbing up the ladder, sitting at the ninth spot. The Monza vs Roma match displays all the signs of being a one-sided fixture but the hosts are capable of hurting the capital club on their day.
Monza’s position in the table is enough to get an overview of the club’s form. The club has managed just a single victory in the last six games accompanied by two draws and three defeats. The solitary win came in the Coppa Italia with the club still searching for the first win in Serie A. Monza has an interesting combination of talent and experience along with the guidance of Alessandro Nesta as the manager so the club will be disappointed with the displays so far.
For Roma, Ivan Juric has brought with him a complete change in his fortunes. The Croatian took over from Daniele De Rossi in the middle of September and has led the side to two league wins on the trot. Roma did suffer a shocking loss at the hands of Elfsborg in the Europa League on Thursday but the main focus of the coaching staff and the fans will be on improving their standing in the league. The capital club has scored seven goals in the last five matches.
