AC Milan welcome Monza to San Siro in their final match of the Serie A season on Saturday. Monza have just three league wins and have been relegated to Serie B, while Milan are assured of a top-10 finish and could finish as high as seventh with a win.
Milan lost 1-0 to Bologna in the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday. Their poor form continued in Serie A as they lost 3-1 at Roma on Sunday. Joao Felix equalised in the 39th minute, but the capital club scored twice in the second half.
Monza, meanwhile, registered a 2-1 win at Udinese earlier this month but failed to build on that form, losingt 3-1 at home to Empoli last week. Samuele Birindelli, assisted by Gianluca Caprari, gave them the lead in the 30th minute, but Empoli scored thrice in the second half in a comeback win.
