Monza take on the visitors Bologna in the round 12 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, October 31th at Brianteo (Monza).
Monza was founded over a century ago. But only now they make their debut in Serie A. And this would not have happened if Silvio Berlusconi had not decided to return to football managemnt. The White-Reds are lucky that they are geographically close to the millionaire, in the suburbs of his native Milan. As a result, it turned out to quickly rise from the 3rd division of the country - but they did not work out of Serie B for a direct ticket either in 2021 or 2022. Fortunately, the current regulations provided for play-offs, which they managed to win. Of course, it is difficult for a newcomer at a new level, despite the signing of many stars. As a result, it all started with 5 losses in a row - and this caused the coaching castling. They appointed Raffaele Palladino, without the slightest experience. And it suddenly helped: Monza started with a draw against Lecce, and then won three times. Yes, there were defeats in both last rounds, not only with Milan last weekend, but also with Empoli. True, between this there were cup win 3-2 with Udinese in Friuli.

Bologna was a little surprised by the fact that they changed their mentor at the beginning of autumn. No, there were questions about Sinisa Mihailovic, with his merits, especially last season. But after all, in the end, Rossoblu managed to once again take a place in the middle of the table, saving themselves from the risk of being relegated. Yes, and the new draw began, albeit with a 5-match series without victories, but at the same time they played in a draw three times. Nevertheless, they decided to replace Mikha with the younger Thiago Motta. Moreover, between the resignation and the appointment, the Red-Blues finally won - 2-1 against Fiorentina. But already with the Brazilian-Italian, they had only 1 point in 4 fights, and that was taken due to a draw with the crisis Sampdoria. It was only last week that they finally managed to turn the tide of the season - first they knocked out Cagliari in the cup, winning 1-0, then they took confident win, 2-0, over Lecce.
Monza, in fact, is just beginning to write its full history. So with "Bologna" will be the first duel. Bookmakers believe that Monza can win at home. But Bologna is more experienced - we dare to assume that it will be able not to lose on the Serie A rookie field.
Prediction for the match: Bologna to win with +0.5 handicap.
