Monza v Bologna: H2H, team news and predicted lineups - 22 September 2024

Monza on a poor run

Monza have lost their last three Serie A matches and are without a win in five. They are now 14th in the table, just four points above the relegation zone.

Bologna, meanwhile, are in 12th place and have won two of their last three games. They will be looking to continue their good form and move up the table.

Team news

Monza have no fresh injury concerns, but they will be without long-term absentee Carlos Augusto. Bologna, meanwhile, will be without midfielder Nicolas Dominguez through suspension.

Predicted lineups

Monza (3-5-2): Di Gregorio; Marlon, Pablo Mari, Izzo; Ciurria, Barberis, Pessina, Sensi, Carlos Augusto; Petagna, Caprari.

Bologna (3-5-2): Skorupski; Posch, Soumaoro, Lucumi; Cambiaso, Schouten, Medel, Soriano, Lykogiannis; Arnautovic, Barrow.

H2H

The two sides have met twice in Serie A, with each team winning once. Monza won 1-0 at home in 2022, while Bologna won 2-1 away in 2023.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but I think Bologna will edge it. They are in better form than Monza and have a slightly stronger squad.
