Milan take on the visitors Monza in the round 11 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, October 22nd at San Siro (Milan).
Milan are more successful in the domestic arena again. The Red-Blacks returned to the Champions League last season. It turned out to be a failure - 4th place in company with Porto, Atlético and Liverpool. Now the quartet looks simpler, but so far the intermediate results are mediocre. Having played a draw in Salzburg with Red Bull and beating Dinamo (Zagreb) 3-1, then the Italians conceded 5 unanswered goals in 2 matches from Chelsea, sharply worsening the alignment for themselves. The wards of Stefano Pioli are looking much more confident in Serie A. There, last season brought the long-awaited “Scudetto”. Now it also doesn’t work out without misfires, but the lion’s share of the matches are won. Especially in October: 3-1 with Empoli, 2-0 with Juventus, 2-1 with Verona. However, for the time being, this allows to go only in 3rd place - Atalanta and especially Napoli showed themselves better.

Monza are gradually adapting to elite level. The "white-reds" managed to interest Silvio Berlusconi - obviously, the key was the location, very close to home for the eccentric millionaire and politician of the city. Pretty quickly Monza managed to add, but I just couldn’t take the decisive step, get out to Serie A. The breakthrough happened at the end of last season: they took 4th place, but won the play-offs. Having recruited a lot of bright newcomers, the debutant failed the start: 5 defeats and a draw with Lecce. After this mentor, Stroppa, was fired, and the board had chosen to rely on Palladino. Rafael is only 38, at one time he played for Juventus and even the Italian national team. He started strong, with victories over Juventus, Sampdoria and La Spezia, but then on Saturday there was 0-1 with Empoli.
Of course, there were no official fights between the champion and the debutant Calcio. But the neighbors played friendly matches relatively often - so far they have been successful for the Rossoneri. Milan is stronger and more motivated. We bet on his victory in the 1st half and the match.
Prediction for the match: Milan to win the first half and the match.
