This Sunday, Monza hosts Frosinone in a crucial Serie A clash at the U-Power Stadium.
Monza, currently in 12th place, is looking to break an eight-game winless streak, while Frosinone is fighting to avoid relegation.
Match Preview
Monza
Monza's recent form has been disappointing, with four defeats and as many draws since the March international break.
Despite a strong start to the season, Raffaele Palladino's squad has struggled, with little at stake as they head into the penultimate round of the season.
Monza’s supporters will be expecting a strong performance in their final home game, despite recent setbacks against top teams like Napoli and Atalanta.
Frosinone
Frosinone, on the other hand, is in a precarious position, tied on points with 18th-placed Empoli but ahead on head-to-head results.
Eusebio Di Francesco’s men were on a six-game unbeaten run until a heavy defeat to Inter Milan last week.
With relegation looming, Frosinone will be desperate for a positive result.
Team News
Monza will be without Papu Gomez due to a doping ban, and injuries keep Patrick Ciurria and Andrea Carboni sidelined.
Milan Djuric, who has scored three goals in his last two matches, will be crucial for Monza, aiming to become the first player in the club's history to score in three consecutive Serie A games. Matteo Pessina, with six goals and three assists this season, will also be a key player.
Frosinone’s squad will miss Luca Mazzitelli, Stefano Turati, Anthony Oyono, and Sergio Kalaj due to injuries.
On-loan defender Nadir Zortea has been a creative force with five assists, and the team will rely on him for offensive support.

Prediction
