Latest Monza vs Como team information
Despite the 3-0 defeat to Cagliari, coach Alessandro Nesta is likely to retain most of his starting line-up. Portuguese striker Dany Mota will continue to partner Keita Balde up front, despite the striker having endured a long goal drought – having scored with his first four shots in Serie A this season.
Although Monza's injury list has been shortened, they are still without captain Matteo Pessina (out for the rest of the season), along with Andrea Carboni, Luca Caldirola and Stefano Sensi.
On the other hand, Como welcomes the important return of Nico Paz – a star on loan from Real Madrid – after a suspension. Dele Alli also returns after a red card against Milan.
Paz's return could see top scorer Patrick Cutrone return to the bench, despite having the second most productive season of his Serie A career with nine goal involvements.
Center-back Alberto Dossena is the only name absent from Como's side due to a serious knee injury suffered late last month.

Latest Monza vs Como football review
Monza's Serie A slump continued last week, with a 3-0 defeat at Cagliari despite holding their opponents to a draw for the entire first half. It was their 19th defeat of the season and left their hopes of survival in tatters, with the gap to safety now 10 points with eight games remaining.
Despite being sacked and reappointed, coach Alessandro Nesta has yet to bring about positive changes. His team has only won two points in the last six matches since the departure of his predecessor Salvatore Bocchetti.
More disappointingly, Monza have scored just one goal in their last four home games – Armando Izzo’s strike against Parma. Their last win in all competitions came in January.
After drawing 1-1 with Como in the first leg this season, Monza will now host their Lombardy rivals at home. In the last 10 league meetings between the two sides, they have lost to Como just once.
As for the visitors, Como have lost all four of their Lombardy derbies since the draw with Monza in November – however, those defeats have all come against the likes of Inter, AC Milan and Atalanta.
However, a busy winter transfer window has given coach Cesc Fabregas a significant boost, with the team picking up eight points from their last six games, lifting them out of the relegation zone for the time being.
Last week, Como could only manage a draw against Empoli, having given up a lead at home. However, their fixtures for the rest of the season are favourable: seven of their last eight games are against teams in the bottom half of the table – the exception being the final game against Inter.
Como are currently seven points clear of the relegation zone, but their poor away form could prove to be a stumbling block: they have won just one of their last 11 Serie A away games, losing seven and keeping just one clean sheet.
Therefore, the short away trip to Monza this weekend will be an opportunity for Como to improve their away form and move closer to their relegation target.
