Monza vs Atalanta: prediction for the Serie A match
Monza are set to host Atalanta in the Serie A fixture on Monday. Can the hosts earn their first points? Here's our prediction.

Command Analysis

Monza

Monza finished in 4th place in Serie B and got promoted to the elite. The main goal for the season is to maintain the residence in Serie A, and this task was entrusted to Giovanni Stroppa who got the team promoted last year. The club signed a few new players, for example, Andrea Petagna and Gianluca Caprari. Their experience should help Monza in Serie A.
Andrea Carboni and Valentin Antov have strengthened the line of defense, plus Monza loaned goalkeeper Alessio Cragno from Cagliari. Despite all of these new signings, Monza were off to a poor start and failed to earn any points in the first four matches. In the middle of the week, Monza suffered a 0:3 defeat to Roma. The team occupies the last line in the standings.

Atalanta

Atalanta looked solid in the first half of the previous season, but after the winter break they dropped out and ended up in 8th place, outside the European club competition zone. Gian Piero Gasperini got some new players in the summer - for example, Jeremie Boga and Merih Demiral joined the club, as well as Ederson, who will replace Alexei Miranchuk and Matteo Pessina in the midfield.
La Dea kicked off the new campaign with a 2:0 win over Sampdoria. After a draw against AC Milan (1:1), Atalanta defeated Verona (1:0) and Torino (3:1). Currently, Atalanta are in third place in the table, but if they win today, they will overcome AC Milan and Napoli, who have already played their fifth-round matches.
