AC MILAN v MONZA: MATCH PREVIEW

AC Milan are getting ready to face Monza on Serie A Matchday 38, scheduled for Saturday 24 May at 20:45 CEST at San Siro. Conceição's team will try to end a complicated season with victory. This is our Match Preview:

LATEST FROM MILANELLO The Rossoneri are fresh off a 3-1 away defeat to Roma, seeing their European hopes come to an end just like their good streak of results against Bologna (3-1), Genoa (2-1) and Venice (2-0). In the Coppa Italia, the Rossoneri showed good growth, but lost out in the Final at the Olimpico. However, the team are determined to put an end to the season in the best way possible in front of their home fans. Conceição and Gimenez are suspended, Chukwueze and Walker are unavailable, but Hernández and Bondo are both back, so we will likely see a few changes to the side.

LATEST FROM MONZA It has been a very difficult season for Monza, having spent pretty much the whole year in last place. Their relegation was confirmed well in advance of the end of the season. Last weekend, the Brianzoli lost 3-1 at home to Empoli just after winning their first game in a long time, 2-1 against Udine. Monza will try to finish the season with a positive performance and a surprise at San Siro. Nesta uses a 3-5-2 with Pizzignacco in goal, Bianco in the middle and Caprari up front; look out for Castrovilli, Mota and Baldé.

Nesta said: "On one hand I am glad the season is ending, even though I'm happy here in Monza. We have always had different issues, but they've all been good experience. AC Milan are a great team, they have strong players. Something hasn't gone well we already thinking of how to improve".

PRE-MATCH NUMBERS

The team who has won the most points from behind (AC Milan - 22), and the team with the least points recovered (Monza - 4) will face each other. AC Milan are the team with the most long balls into the striker (90), whereas Monza have the least (29).
AC Milan and Monza have never drawn in Serie A, with four Rossoneri wins and one for Monza. There is an average of 3.2 goals per match.
With a goal, Christian Pulisic would equal his goal-scoring record in Europe's Top 5 leagues (12 with AC Milan in 2023/24), but with a goal-contribution he would set a new record: 20 involvements in Serie A 2024/25 (11G, 9A), just like last year (12G+8A).
