Monza search for their first victory of the campaign against a Sassuolo side buoyed by a high-scoring win over Juventus.
Monza sit 18th with one point after four games and have struggled to find their rhythm under Ivan Juric. They are winless this season and come into this fixture following a 3-2 defeat away at Lecce. Juric is under early pressure to stabilise a defence that has conceded 11 goals in the opening four matches.
Sassuolo occupy 9th place with seven points after a successful start under new boss Alberto Aquilani. They arrive in high spirits after a 3-2 'giant-killing' win against Juventus last week, though they must now contend with a poor away record that stretches back several months.
