Inter Milan vs AC Monza: Top of the Table Look to Strengthen Grip
Inter Milan will look to build on their position at the top of the Serie A table when they host bottom-placed AC Monza at the San Siro on Saturday. On paper, this is a top vs. bottom clash, but in football, nothing is certain.
Simone Inzaghi’s team will want to create some distance between themselves and Napoli, but a draw in the last match means the gap remains just one point. Napoli are waiting to pounce on any slip-up, so Inter needs to be at their best.
Inter Milan also won in the Champions League this week, 2-0 away. With a strong attack, Inzaghi will be hoping for the same against Monza.
For Alessandro Nesta, managing Monza has been a real challenge. His team is at the bottom of the league and needs a change of luck. They have lost 6 of their last 7 matches. Monza is struggling to score and is 9 points from safety.
Last weekend, they lost 2-0 to Torino. They came close to beating Inter in the reverse fixture, but a late equalizer ruined their hopes. Beating Inter at the San Siro has been a rare feat for Monza since they were promoted in 2023.
