Monza will host Torino at the U-Power Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Serie A campaign.
The home side have had a largely solid league campaign and currently find themselves just outside the continental spots. They beat Hellas Verona 3-1 in their last game, with Lorenzo Colombo and Luca Caldirola getting on the scoresheet to hand the Biancorossi a three-goal lead before their opponents scored a late consolation goal.
Monza have picked up 16 points from 11 games so far and now sit ninth in the league table. They are just one point above their weekend opponents in 12th place and will be looking to widen that gap with a win on Saturday.
Torino have had a string of positive results in the league of late after a turbulent first quarter of the season. They picked up a narrow but fully-deserved 2-1 win over Sassuolo in their last game, with Antonio Sanabria opening the scoring before substitute Nikola Vlasic scored the winner midway through the second half.
