The seventh Serie A round will finish with two games on Monday's schedule. The first of those two will be between two teams that opened the season completely differently: Monza and Cagliari. The hosts sit in 16th place with a mere four points, while the visiting team, Cagliari, had an amazing start and are in 4th place with 13 points!

These teams last met in the 2024/25 season when both teams competed in Serie A. At that time, Cagliari won both h2h games, 3:0 at home and 2:1 away from home. Looking further back, these teams met eight times, with Monza winning twice and Cagliari winning three times.
Regarding the number of goals, four out of eight h2h games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in the same number of games (four).
AC Monza team overview
AC Monza suffered relegation from Serie A in the 2024/25 season but managed to return instantly in the following season through the Playoffs after finishing 3rd in the regular phase. This season, their main goal is to survive. However, we can safely say that it isn't going according to plan. Yes, they are in 16th place, but that looks a lot better than it actually is, considering they won only four points, and only a better goal difference and H2H stats are keeping them out of the danger zone.
In the previous game against Lazio, central defender Lorenzo Lucchesi received a red card and will be suspended. That is a big blow, given the fact that he started in all six games this season. Additionally, Jan Ziolkowski, Idrissa Toure, and Matteo Pessina should remain sidelined with injuries.

Cagliari team overview
Cagliari finished between 14th and 16th place in the previous three seasons, but managed to survive. Before the start of this season, everyone expected another similar situation. So this strong start is even more surprising: they've collected 13 points in six rounds and are only one win away from the top spot. The main reason for that is their incredible defense, as they have allowed only three goals thus far and are the best team in Serie A in that department.
In the previous game against Juventus, Cagliari drew 1:1. However, after full time, coaches received red cards and will serve suspensions. Both received one-game bans.
When it comes to injuries, the team should have no new ones, but Yael Trepy, Riyad Idrissi, and Mattia Felici should remain sidelined.

Prediction
This season, Monza won only once in six Serie A games. That was against Sassuolo, in a game where we could easily see a draw, or maybe even a win for Sassuolo. Throughout the season, they have had massive problems defensively and have already conceded 15 goals - the most in Serie A! And now, they will possibly miss their best central defender, Lorenzo Lucchesi, due to suspension.
On the other hand, Cagliari lost only to Inter this season, at least in Serie A. Currently, Cagliari are on a four-game unbeaten run, avoiding defeat against Juventus, Udinese, Atalanta, and Lecce, teams better placed in the league than Monza.
Given the above, we believe the visitors should win at least one point in this Serie A tie.
3 Reasons why Cagliari should win or draw
- Monza won once in six Serie A games
- Cagliari lost only to Inter in six Serie A matches
- Cagliari avoided defeat in the last four games
