The Serie A season nears its conclusion, and Monza finds themselves in an uninspiring mid-table position. Their recent form paints a disappointing picture, with a seven-match winless streak (three draws and four losses) culminating in a 2-1 defeat against Fiorentina on Monday. While they are safe from relegation and unable to qualify for European competitions, there’s still motivation to improve their final league position and potentially secure additional prize money. Furthermore, they aim to avoid finishing lower than their 11th place achievement from last season.

Monza Looks to End Home Woes Against High-Scoring Frosinone

These incentives might spark a turnaround for Monza when they host Frosinone. They will be aiming to end a three-match winless run at home (one draw and two losses), with each of those matches witnessing goals from both teams and scoring in both halves. Historically, encounters between these two sides have been entertaining affairs, with each of the last five head-to-head clashes producing at least four goals (three Monza wins, one draw, and one loss). This includes two consecutive 3-2 victories for Monza at home.

Frosinone Desperately Needs Points to Avoid Relegation

For Frosinone, avoiding defeat is crucial. They begin this matchday precariously positioned just above the relegation zone, separated by a better head-to-head record against Empoli. Several teams are currently in danger of joining Salernitana in Serie B next season, and Frosinone is determined to avoid that fate. They will need to quickly overcome the demoralizing 5-0 thrashing they suffered at the hands of Inter Milan, which brought a halt to their six-match unbeaten run (one win and five draws).

Frosinone Seeks Elusive Away Victory

Frosinone manager Eusebio Di Francesco emphasized the need for his players to display more tactical intelligence on the pitch. However, their most pressing need is to secure their first away win of the entire Serie A season (seven draws and eleven losses). They hold the dubious distinction of being the only team in the league yet to win a single game on the road this term.
