Match preview
Monza host Udinese in Serie A round two
Monza welcome Udinese to Serie A's second round looking to respond after a difficult start under Ivan Juric, who takes charge with the club sitting 19th in the table having yet to collect a point from their opening game. Udinese, managed by Kosta Runjaic, arrive in tenth position with a point already on the board from their opening match.
AI-assisted match preview written from official match data.
Form lines make for contrasting reading. Monza's recent results have swung between extremes, with wins and defeats mixed among draws in their last five outings, including a heavy loss to Inter and a win away at Galatasaray. Udinese, by contrast, put together a run of three straight wins before a defeat to Trabzonspor interrupted that sequence.
The two sides have met regularly in recent seasons, with their last five meetings producing two wins for the away side in that fixture, a draw with the same scoreline, and two matches level at the end. The most recent encounter, played in May 2025, finished 1-2.
Udinese head into the match on the back of three wins in their last five before a loss to Trabzonspor, while Monza's form has been far less settled, alternating wins and defeats around a draw.
Monza's winless start and bottom-of-the-table position contrast with Udinese sitting comfortably inside the top half after one round.
Monza meet Udinese in the Serie A (Regular Season - 2). Kick-off is Saturday, 29 August 2026, 16:30 UTC.
