Inter Milan vs Monza Prediction, Preview, Predicted Lineups and Team News | Serie A

• Tournament: Serie A
• Date: 9th March, 2025
• Kick-off Time: 07:45 PM GMT

• Venue: San Siro

  Inter Milan are set to take on Monza at the San Siro in the Serie A which is essentially a clash between the current first-placed team and the current bottom-placed team. Inter had a great chance to take a lead when they faced Napoli last week however it ended in a draw. Inter are in a close title race with Napoli since Inter are in first place with 58 points and Napoli are in second place with 57 points.

  Inter are also doing well in the UEFA Champions League Round Of 16 winning the first leg 2-0 against Feyenoord. Inter are also set to take on rivals AC Milan in the semi-finals of the Copa Italia in April. Despite being involved in crucial stages of Serie A, UCL and Copa Italia, Inter have managed to fire on all fronts even in the Serie A where they are doing decent having won two out of their last five games and losing two whilst drawing one.

  Monza on the other hand have a very strong possibility of getting relegated since they are last in the Serie A with very underwhelming stats. The visitors have a mere 14 points in 27 games in the Serie A and will have to win almost every upcoming match and hope for the other teams to lose points which is a very unlikely possibility. Monza have lost four of their last five matches and have drawn one which implies that they are winless in their last five matches.

Inter Milan Team News

The hosts are missing out on a few wing-backs with Matteo Darmian, Nicola Zalewski and Federico Di Marco being confirmed absentees. Carlos Augusto might just return to fitness before the match against Monza whilst the good news is that goalkeeper Yan

Sommer is now available after making a full recovery from a thumb injury. Manager Simone Inzaghi can bench Lautaro Martinez or Marcus Thuram since crucial fixtures are coming up however both of them are looking to extend their goal tally for the season.

The visitors are also missing out on some key players namely former Inter trio Roberto Gagliardini, Stefano Sensi and Luca Caldirola.

Inter Milan vs Monza H2H Record

Inter Milan and Monza have faced each other five times in their history with the former winning two times and the latter winning one and the remaining two matches have ended in a draw.

Key Players To Watch Out For In Inter Milan vs Monza

Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan)

The Frenchman is soaring high for Inter Milan having scored 11 goals and assisted four times in 19 Serie A appearances. Although as of now Thuram has managed to score only one goal in Inter's previous matches, he will bag at least one goal if not two or more goals against Monza.

The duo of Thuram and Lautaro Martinez is providing excellent results this season however Thuram is just perhaps in the best form of his life and will probably enter that state again after putting in a good performance against Monza.

Dany Mota (Monza)

The Portuguese international has done well in attack for Monza and will play a vital role against Inter Milan being the main man in the attacking front. Dany Mota has scored five goals in 22 Serie A appearances for Monza this season and the game against Milan will be a bit difficult since Monza is likely to employ a defensive approach.

However, they are likely to do much damage to Inter Milan on the counter and Dany Mota will look to capitalize on any chance he gets.

Inter Milan vs Monza Prediction

There is not much to discuss in this fixture. Monza have lost the same amount of games as much as Inter Milan have won in the 2024-2025 season in Serie A ( 17 ).

Inter Milan are set to take on Monza who are the third worst defence in the league whereas Inter themselves have maintained 12 clean sheets this season and are second only to Juventus who have maintained 14. Inter Milan will look to pick up their winning form in the league and gain confidence and consistency as they prepare to dominate Monza.

Prediction: Inter Milan 3-0 Monza
