Prediction for Monza vs Roma
Monza debuted in Serie A two seasons ago, and under the leadership of Silvio Berlusconi's project, they finished 12th in the table in the 2023/24 season. Roma saw improvement after finally parting ways with Mourinho, but despite this, they lost in the Europa League semifinals and missed out on a Champions League spot, finishing behind Bologna in the race for 5th place.
Daniele De Rossi remained as Roma’s manager, receiving a long-term contract, and the squad saw the arrivals of Dovbyk, Soule, Hermoso, Hummels, Saelemaekers, Koné, and Le Fée. However, the club said goodbye to loan players like Lukaku, Azmoun, and Llorente, as well as key departures like Rui Patricio, Kosta, Karsdorp, and Smalling. Several players, including Bove, Abraham, and Kumbulla, were loaned out. Monza sold De Gregorio but reinforced with players like Forson, Sensi, Turati, and Bianco. The biggest change was on the bench, where Alessandro Nesta replaced the successful Raffaele Palladino.
Nesta, a legendary defender, had a shaky start at Monza, with victories only coming in the Coppa Italia, where they defeated Südtirol on penalties. In Serie A, Monza managed only draws, including one against Napoli. Meanwhile, De Rossi was dismissed after three draws and one loss, amid controversy that led to the resignation of Roma's general director. Ivan Jurić was brought in and secured a confident win over Udinese in his debut, but the following match against Athletic Bilbao ended in a 1-1 draw, despite another goal from Dovbyk. Roma’s European campaign has also faltered, with a shocking loss to Elfsborg in the Europa League after a defeat to Venezia.
