Monza host high-flying Cagliari at U-Power Stadium
In-form Cagliari travel to Monza looking to extend their positive momentum against hosts still finding their feet in the opening weeks of the Serie A campaign.
Monza sit 16th with four points after six games following a slow start to the season. Manager Ivan Juric oversaw a 2-1 home victory over Sassuolo in their last outing, arresting a difficult run that included back-to-back 3-2 losses against Udinese and Lecce. They will be eager to build on that momentum to climb away from the lower reaches of the standings.
Cagliari have made a strong start to the campaign, sitting fourth on 13 points after six games. The Sardinian outfit held Juventus to a 1-1 draw last time out, stretching their unbeaten sequence after notable away victories over Atalanta (2-1) and Udinese (1-0).
