Monza desperately need points on Sunday, Feb 21 at 6:30 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Atalanta come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 0D 0L). Monza travel in mixed form (0W 0D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Atalanta won their last outing, while Monza suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours Atalanta here — they've won 9 of 10 previous meetings against Monza. Their last encounter ended in Atalanta won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Atalanta clear favorites, but Monza have shown they can grind out results. Expect Atalanta to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
