AC Milan find themselves eager to rebound from a midweek setback that left them trailing the Serie A leaders by 11 points. Their next chance to recover comes with a short trip to face Monzaon Saturday.
Both teams' defensive frailties could mean a high-scoring encounter. Monza has endured a challenging start, managing only one victory in their opening 10 matches. Sitting precariously above the relegation zone solely on goal difference, they still have time to salvage their season but need to tighten up defensively. Alessandro Nesta’s men were repeatedly breached in their 2-0 loss to Atalanta midweek, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities with just one clean sheet in the past nine games.
Meanwhile, AC Milan's form has been erratic as well, heading into Saturday's match with two wins and three defeats in their last five outings across all competitions. Following their 2-0 home loss to Napoli, Paulo Fonseca’s squad has now slid to eighth in the standings. Offensively, AC Milan has been strong, with Christian Pulisic consistently looking sharp in attack. However, their aggressive play has left them exposed defensively, with Milan still in search of their first away clean sheet this season.

AC Milan team news
AC Milan will welcome back the likes of Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders this weekend, both of whom missed the midweek fixture due to suspension. Their return means Filippo Terracciano and Yunus Musah are likely to step down from the starting lineup.
With Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic still recovering, Alvaro Morata is set to spearhead Milan’s attack, with Christian Pulisic expected to shake off a recent illness in time to support him. The left-wing spot remains up for debate, as Rafael Leao could be reintroduced, though Noah Okafor may retain his place after recent performances.
Long-term injuries continue to sideline Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi until next year. Meanwhile, Monza will be without Samuele Birindelli, Alessio Cragno, and Stefano Sensi due to injuries, though Warren Bondo returns from suspension.
