Bologna vs. Monza: Serie A Returns with Matchday 10

Bologna vs. Monza kicks off Matchday 10 of Serie A at the Stadio Dall'Ara. The hosts seem to have found their feet under Raffaele Palladino and head into the game on the back of two consecutive victories, most recently an impressive win over AC Milan at San Siro. A third straight success would strengthen their push towards the European places. Monza, meanwhile, have suffered back-to-back defeats against Torino and Napoli since beating Cagliari. They will be determined to pick up points and avoid slipping further down the table.
