Monza, 16th position with 8 points and a negative goal difference of -3
AC Milan won the Serie A Week 11 defeating Monza on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the U-Power Stadium in Monza, Italy. Milan is back to winning form, achieving victory on the road, a feat they’ve only accomplished in the derby against Inter this season. This win brings three crucial points for Fonseca’s squad. After Reijnders scored just before halftime, they had several opportunities in the second half to secure the game but managed to hold on without feeling the pressure from Monza. The red and white team continues their streak with a home win that has eluded them since March 16 against Cagliari.
This match is steeped in emotion, reflecting the rich history between AC Milan and Monza. Former President Silvio Berlusconi had a fondness for both clubs. Currently, Monza is coached by Alessandro Nesta, a former defender for Milan. Additionally, Daniel, the son of legendary Milan captain Paolo Maldini, is now playing for Monza. In their previous four Serie A encounters, Monza and Milan have never ended in a draw: the Rossoneri have claimed three victories, while Monza triumphed in their latest clash on February 18, winning 4-2 at the U-Power Stadium.
The goal arrived…
AC Milan gained the upper hand in the 43rd minute when Tijjani Reijnders found the back of the net with a close-range header after a swift counterattack. It was a quick restart from Milan, with Morata directing the ball past Izzo from just a couple of steps out, and Reijnders was right there to finish it off with a simple tap-in into an open goal.

Stats before the game
In their last home fixture, Monza ended in a 1-1 stalemate with Inter, a team from Lombardy, on September 15. They have yet to go unbeaten in two consecutive home games against Lombardy teams in Serie A. Meanwhile, Milan emerged victorious in their latest encounter with a Lombardy side, defeating Inter 2-1 in the derby. They haven’t managed to secure two consecutive wins against local rivals since February 2023, when they won against both Monza and Atalanta.
Monza is struggling at home, having not secured a single victory in their last nine Serie A matches (D4, L5). This is the longest ongoing streak among teams in the top division, with only Bari, Benevento, Reggiana, Salernitana, and SPAL having longer waits for a home win in the league. On the other hand, Milan has managed to win just one of their first four away games this season (D1, L2), with that lone victory coming in a derby match against Inter (2-1). The last time the Rossoneri had such a slow start, with only one win in their first five away matches, was back in the 2018/19 season.
Milan has experienced at least three losses in their first nine matches of a Serie A season for the first time since the 2019/20 season, where they faced five defeats but managed to win their 10th game. Recently, they have lost two out of their last three league matches (with one win) against Fiorentina and Napoli, matching the number of defeats they had in their previous 11 games (which included four wins and five draws).
Player Stats
Dany Mota and Milan Djuric are Monza’s two top scorers at home in this championship, with two goals each – the Portuguese has therefore reached eight home goals in total with the Brianza team in Serie A, just two goals behind Andrea Colpani, top scorer at the U-Power Stadium.
Christian Pulisic has already scored three goals in four away games in this Serie A championship, while in the whole of last season he had scored four goals in 18 away games – considering the top five European leagues, only in 2019/20 did he find more than four goals away from home (seven in that season).
