Latest Monza vs Atalanta team information
Atalanta could welcome back Stefan Posch in defence, while Gianluca Scamacca, Sead Kolasinac and Giorgio Scalvini remain sidelined for the rest of the season. Mateo Retegui – having recovered from injury – will continue to lead the attack and will be looking to score his first goal against Monza after 269 minutes without a goal against the opposition.
On Monza's side, centre-back Andrea Carboni is suspended, with Tomas Palacios or Stefan Lekovic likely to replace him. The long injury list means coach Nesta will be without seven players, including two former Atalanta players, Matteo Pessina and Roberto Gagliardini.
Key striker Dany Mota – who has the most appearances, goals and assists for Monza in Serie A – is still stuck at 5 goals since the start of the season. Against the in-form Atalanta, Monza will need a miracle if they are to avoid another defeat.

Latest Monza vs Atalanta football review
After their hopes of challenging for the Scudetto evaporated at the start of April, Atalanta have turned their attention to holding on to third place. They fell behind in their two-day postponed game against Lecce last weekend but Mateo Retegui's second-half penalty saved La Dea from a shock.
Retegui has now scored 24 goals in Serie A this season, equalling the record set by Atalanta legend Pippo Inzaghi in 1996-97. With four games left, he could easily break that record.
While Atalanta have been disappointing at home at times – drawing with Cagliari and Venezia – they have been in excellent form away from home, winning five of their last six games, scoring an average of 2.8 goals per game and conceding just two. Of Europe’s top five leagues, only PSG and Liverpool have picked up more away points than Atalanta this season.
With 65 points – their third-best tally at this stage in Serie A history – and their most solid defence since 1965, Gasperini’s men can claim this season as a success. They have won all five Serie A games against Monza. With Juventus, Bologna and the two Rome sides chasing them, their only target is three points.
Monza, after a 0-2 defeat in the first leg, lost to Atalanta with a total score of 3-14 since being promoted to Serie A. After three years in Italy's top flight, the Lombardy team is facing a clear risk of relegation.
A 2-0 defeat to Juventus last week left Monza without a win and without scoring in three games. If they lose again, they will set a sad record of six consecutive defeats for the first time in Serie A. They have only picked up 15 points from 34 games – their third-worst record this century at this point.
Monza are also the team that has conceded the most goals from headers (18 goals), while Atalanta are the second-most headed goalscorers in the tournament (12 goals), behind only Inter Milan.
