Monza and Cagliari are both striving to secure their place in the league. Unfortunately for Monza, they faced a tough loss in Serie A Week 19 on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at the U-Power Stadium in Monza, Italy. This defeat leaves Monza at the bottom of the standings. Cagliari emerged victorious with a score of 1-2, marking Monza’s second consecutive loss in a crucial battle for survival. Although Caprari initially put Monza ahead with a penalty, they ultimately fell to goals from Zortea and Piccoli, who turned the game around. Cagliari celebrates their win while Monza finds themselves in a deeper struggle.

Looking ahead, Monza will take on Fiorentina, while Cagliari will face Milan.

Currently, Monza sits at the bottom of the table, while Cagliari is just above them in 19th place, holding a slim lead of only 3 points. Monza is coming off a 2-1 defeat against Parma, while Cagliari is coming off a 0-3 home defeat against Inter!

Monza got off to a great start, taking the lead in the 6th minute. Gianluca Caprari stepped up to take a penalty and skillfully placed his right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. The penalty was awarded after Antoine Makoumbou committed a handball in the box.

Cagliari leveled the score in the 22nd minute with a fantastic goal from Nadir ZORTEA! He unleashed a stunning long-range shot that curled beautifully into the net, leaving goalkeeper Stefano Turati helpless.

Cagliari took the lead in the 56th minute with a fantastic goal from Roberto Piccoli! Obert made a great run with the ball, setting up Piccoli, who skillfully created space for himself and unleashed a powerful shot that soared under the crossbar, leaving Turati with no chance.

Stats before the game:

Monza remains unbeaten in Serie A against Cagliari, having secured a win and a draw in their most recent encounters during the last season. The Brianza team has only experienced more games without a loss in the league against Hellas Verona (five) and Sassuolo (four).

Cagliari, on the other hand, has managed to win just one of their last six clashes with Monza across Serie A and B, with a record of three draws and two losses, their sole victory being a 2-1 win on October 22, 2000, in the second division. Additionally, Monza has achieved clean sheets in their last three home matches against Cagliari in both Serie A and B, winning the last two. The Brianza team has the opportunity to set a new record for consecutive clean sheets against this opponent in these two leagues, something they haven’t done since the streak of six from 1953 to 1958.

Monza has only managed to secure 10 points in this season’s championship, a stark contrast to the 22 points they had after the first 18 matches last season. This -12 point difference is the largest among teams that have participated in both Serie A seasons. The team has also faced a tough time recently, losing their last four league matches. The only time they experienced a five-game losing streak in Serie A was during their inaugural season, from August to September 2022.

Cagliari has struggled to find the back of the net, failing to score in three of their last four Serie A matches, matching the number of scoreless games they had in their previous ten outings. The Rossoblu are currently on a four-match losing streak in the league, their worst run since a five-game stretch from March to April 2022. Additionally, they have lost their last two away games in Serie A, and they haven’t experienced a longer away defeat streak since late 2023, when Claudio Ranieri was coaching them (four losses at that time). On a positive note, the Rossoblu have not conceded more than two goals in any away match this season.
