Monza Team Analysis

Monza Recent Performance

Home team	Away team	Result
Roma	Monza	4-0 (Loss)
Monza	Lecce	0-0 (Draw)
Lazio	Monza	5-1 (Loss)
Monza	Verona	0-1 (Loss)
Genoa	Monza	2-0 (Loss)

Monza has had a challenging recent run, with their last five matches resulting in a draw and four losses. Their performance has been hampered by significant injuries, contributing to their position at the bottom of the Serie A table.

They’ve only managed an average of 0.20 goals in their last five matches and kept a single clean sheet against Lecce. The team’s lack of offensive drive, highlighted by Kacper Urbański’s struggle against Roma, has rendered Monza almost toothless in attack.

The reappointment of Alessandro Nesta as coach has seen little improvement, and facing Torino, a well-organized side, might not help their standings much.

Monza Key Players

Monza’s survival in Serie A heavily depends on key players like Dany Mota, their top scorer with 4 goals. Although Monza has struggled offensively, Mota will need to step up against Torino’s solid defense.
Another player to watch is goalkeeper Stefano Turati, who has been under immense pressure but managed a clean sheet against Lecce. He will want to replicate that performance.
Despite an underwhelming loan spell so far, Kacper Urbański’s performance in the midfield is pivotal for ball control and creating chances.
Expected lineup for Monza:

• Goalkeeper: Stefano Turati
• Defenders: Armando Izzo, Stefan Lekovic, Tomas Palacios
• Midfielders: Pedro Pereira, Kacper Urbański, Alessandro Bianco, Georgios Kyriakopoulos
• Forwards: Dany Mota, Patrick Ciurria, Silvere Ganvoula

Their battle against Torino’s offensive threats, especially Che Adams, will be crucial for Monza.

Monza Suspensions & Injuries

Monza is grappling with a string of injuries that could significantly affect their performance in the upcoming match against Torino.

Player	Injury	Expected return
Roberto Gagliardini	Muscle injury	Unknown
Matteo Pessina	Hamstring injury	Doubtful
Luca Caldirola	Hamstring injury	Doubtful
Samuele Birindelli	Muscle injury	Doubtful
Jean Daniel Akpa Akpro	Muscle injury	Doubtful
Stefano Sensi	Thigh injury	Late March 2025
Gaetano Castrovilli	Contusion	Mid March 2025
Gianluca Caprari	Muscle injury	Mid March 2025
Omari Forson	Physical discomfort	Doubtful
Andrea Carboni	Physical discomfort	Doubtful

With key players like Gagliardini, Pessina, and Sensi out, Monza’s midfield will struggle for stability. The potential absence of Carboni and Forson further weakens their defense. This multitude of injuries complicates Nesta’s tactical planning ahead of their match against Torino.

Monza Tactics and Formation

Monza Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 5-2-2-1
• Key Forward: Silvere Ganvoula
• Midfield Duo: Kacper Urbanski, Alessandro Bianco
• Defensive Trio: Stefan Lekovic, Armando Izzo, Tomás Palacios

Monza will likely deploy a 5-2-2-1 formation aimed at shoring up their shaky defense, given their myriad injuries and recent poor form. With the return of Armando Izzo in defense, Monza aims to add some much-needed stability at the back.

Kacper Urbanski and Alessandro Bianco will be tasked with holding down the midfield, distributing the ball effectively, and potentially forming counter-attacks. Dany Mota and Patrick Ciurria will play as attacking midfielders, supporting Ganvoula up front.

Given their lack of goals, Monza may focus on compact defending and quick transitions, hoping to exploit Torino’s vulnerabilities, particularly in the 31-45 minute interval.

Torino Team Analysis

Torino Recent Performance

Torino have been showing a mixed bag of performances in their last five matches, securing 8 points from a possible 15. They have bagged two wins, two draws, and only one loss, showcasing a relatively stable form.

With an average of 1.60 goals scored and one clean sheet in their last five games, Torino have shown they can be both potent and resilient when it matters. As they prepare to face Monza, who are struggling at the bottom of the table, Torino will look to continue their successful run and secure another vital three points.

Torino Key Players

Torino will be relying on their key players to continue their stable form as they face Monza at the U-Power Stadium.
Expected lineup for Torino:

• Goalkeeper: Vanja Milinković-Savić
• Defenders: Sebastian Walukiewicz, Guillermo Maripán, Saul Coco, Cristiano Biraghi
• Midfielders: Samuele Ricci, Cesare Casadei, Valentino Lazaro, Nikola Vlasic, Elif Elmas
• Attacker: Che Adams

Che Adams has been the standout performer, leading the team with 7 goals this season and is expected to battle Monza’s defense led by Stefan Lekovic and Andrea Carboni.
Another crucial player is Nikola Vlasic, who will be the creative force in midfield, facing off against Monza’s Alessandro Bianco. Watch out for Samuele Ricci’s tenacity in defensive midfield, as he will likely clash with Monza’s attackers.

Torino Suspensions & Injuries

Torino will be without several key players due to injuries for the upcoming match against Monza, which might hinder their overall squad depth and flexibility.

Player	Injury	Expected return
Perr Schuurs	Knee injury	Unknown
Duván Zapata	Cruciate ligament injury	Out for season
Alieu Njie	Broken ankle	Mid May 2025
Adrien Tameze	Ankle injury	Mid March 2025

These absences leave Torino weaker in defensive options and light on attacking firepower upfront. The loss of Duván Zapata for the season leaves a significant gap in their forward line, placing added pressure on Che Adams to deliver goals. Perr Schuurs’ absence in defence could impact their backline’s stability.

Torino Tactics and Formation

Torino Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 4-2-3-1
• Key Forward: Che Adams
• Midfield Duo: Samuele Ricci and Cesare Casadei
• Defensive Setup:
  • Right Back: Sebastian Walukiewicz
  • Right Centre Back: Guillermo Maripán
  • Left Centre Back: Saul Coco
  • Left Back: Cristiano Biraghi
• Wing Play: Right Wing – Valentino Lazaro, Left Wing – Elif Elmas
• Attacking Midfielder: Nikola Vlašić

Torino’s strategy includes utilizing their wings and maintaining a compact midfield to control the game. They have a strong attack, particularly impactful during the 61-75 minute interval as they’ve scored most of their goals then. With Adams leading the strike, they aim to exploit Monza’s weak defence, and their solid midfield pairing of Ricci and Casadei will be instrumental in both defensive duties and transitioning to attack.
