Monza vs. Como, precious points up for grabs

A true Lombard clash between Monza and Como. The Brianzoli are running out of chances to keep their survival hopes alive, while the Lariani are aiming to distance themselves from the bottom three

Monza and Como will get the Saturday action of Serie A Enilive matchday 31 underway. The home side have not won since 13 January, when they beat Fiorentina, and have only gained two points in their last ten matches. A win is vital in order to keep their survival hopes alive.

The Lariani are also on the lookout for points as they have only recorded two in their last four matches. A win would increase the distance between them and the relegation zone.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Following their 1-1 draw on 30 November, Como could become the first team against which Monza have drawn both their first two matches in Serie A. Monza are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 games against Como between Serie A, Serie B and Serie C (W5 D4); the only success of the Lariani side in the period was on 3 April 2022 in Serie B at Sinigaglia.

DID YOU KNOW?

Monza have avoided defeat in 11 of their last 14 games against newly-promoted teams in Serie A (W5 D6), although their last success against these teams was on 16 March 2024 (1-0 vs Cagliari) – three draws and two defeats since then. Como have lost their last four derbies of Lombardia and have they never recorded more defeats in a row against these teams in a single Serie A campaign (also 4 in 1951/52). Monza have avoided defeat in three of their five home games played in the second leg this season (W1 D2), as many times as in the entire first leg (D3 L7); however, in the last four Serie A home matches they have scored just one goal (Armando Izzo vs Parma). Como have won one of their last 11 away matches in Serie A – three draws and seven defeats – the only success in the period was against Fiorentina on 16 February 2025 (2-0), in the only one of these games in which they kept a clean sheet. Como have won most possession in the final third in Serie A this season (143) while Monza are the one that have recorded the least (62). Monza and Como have scored five goals from set pieces in Serie A this season; fewer than any other teams in the competition.

PLAYERS

Gianluca Caprari scored the first of his two goals in this Serie A season in the first leg against Como; the last time he has scored in both seasonal games against a single opponent was against Spezia in 2021/22 with Hellas Verona shirt. Patrick Cutrone - close to 150 appearances in Serie A – has been involved in nine goals in Serie A this season (six goals and three assists), only once has he been involved in 10+ goals in a single Serie A campaign (12 in 2017/18 with AC Milan), moreover the last Como player to score more goals in a season in the competition was Dan Corneliusson (7) and Stefano Borgonovo (10) in 1985/86 – also six goals for Nico Paz in this Serie A.
