AC Monza
Serie A
Bologna have dominated the recent head-to-head record. Across the last seven competitive meetings, they have won four, with two draws and only one Monza victory. Bologna have also won the last three meetings, including a 3-1 home victory in January 2025 and a 2-1 away success earlier that season. BTTS has also occurred in two of their last three meetings across all domestic competitions.
Bologna team overview
Bologna have shown encouraging signs recently, winning three of their last five league matches. They followed a 3-1 defeat to Inter with consecutive victories over Cagliari and AC Milan, scoring six goals across those two games.
Their 4-2 triumph at San Siro was particularly impressive, with Federico Bernardeschi among the key attacking contributors.
Bologna remain without Riccardo Orsolini, Roberto Piccoli and Emil Holm, while Lorenzo De Silvestri and Jay Enem are also unavailable. Orsolini and Piccoli are particularly significant absences in attacking areas, although Bologna demonstrated at Cagliari that they can still produce without the pair.

Monza team overview
Monza's form has been considerably less convincing. They have lost three of their last four league matches, including defeats to Lazio, Torino and Napoli, with their only victory during that sequence coming against Cagliari.
The visitors’ defensive problems remain their biggest concern: Monza have allowed 14 goals in five away fixtures.
There is nevertheless plenty of attacking potential. Monza are averaging 1.9 goals and 1.6 xG per league game, while Gustavo Varela has been their standout attacking player with seven Serie A goals.
Captain Matteo Pessina remains sidelined with a knee injury, while Jan Ziółkowski is unavailable and Yvan Kouadio Maye is doubtful.

Prediction
Bologna's midweek victory at Milan provides significant momentum, while Monza's poor away defensive record is difficult to overlook. The hosts also possess the superior recent head-to-head record and have conceded fewer goals per game than their opponents. Bologna are expected to win, but Monza’s solid attacking output puts them in a favourable position to find the net on Saturday.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (BTTS).
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- Monza are consistently finding the net. They have scored in five consecutive matches.
- Both teams have defensive vulnerabilities. Bologna have conceded in four of their last five matches, while Monza have also conceded in four of their last five.
- BTTS has occurred in back-to-back Serie A meetings between Bologna and Monza.
