Latest football commentary AC Milan vs Monza
For the first time since the 2015-16 season, AC Milan will end the season without a European place, after a serious decline in the final stages of the season.
After a 0-1 defeat to Bologna in the Coppa Italia final last week, Milan continued to lose to Roma, thereby certainly standing outside the top 6 and unable to qualify for the continental arena.
Sergio Conceicao only took over mid-season, but Milan have underperformed and are currently ninth – a position that is unlikely to change regardless of the final round of results.
Fiorentina and Bologna are both two points ahead of Milan. If Bologna wins, they will officially eliminate Milan from the race. Meanwhile, Fiorentina only needs one point due to their better head-to-head record.
With 16 defeats in all competitions, Milan are in danger of equalling the record for most defeats in a season – 17, which happened in the 1973-74, 1996-97 and 2013-14 seasons.
Their home form at the San Siro has also been disappointing. If they fail to win this game, Milan will end the season with just eight home wins – their lowest tally in the 21st century (matched by 2007-08 and 2020-21).
However, this time the opponent is a weak team that can help Milan improve their performance, because they have won 10/11 matches this season against teams currently in the bottom 6 of the table.
Milan have also won four of their five Serie A games against Monza since their promotion, including both at the San Siro – where they scored a total of seven goals.
As for Monza, they will close the season at Serie A's most iconic stadium, but unfortunately, the 2024-25 season is a disaster for them.
With just three wins from 37 games, Monza are on course for one of the worst points records in the history of the 20-team Serie A. They currently have 18 points, just ahead of Chievo in 2018-19 and Salernitana in 2023-24 – who finished on 17 points.
After a fairly comfortable first two seasons of mid-table relegation, Monza's freefall this season has been a surprise. 25 defeats show they are completely out of breath at this level.
Coach Alessandro Nesta returns to the San Siro – where he was a legend as a player – and hopes to bring some joy after a win at Udinese ended an 11-game away losing streak.
However, that may be just a rare bright spot, because in the previous round they lost 1-3 at home to Empoli - a team that is also struggling to stay in the league.
