Read our in-depth Verona vs Monza preview as these two Serie A sides face off on Monday evening at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi. Verona aims to maintain their momentum after ending a three-match losing streak with a victory, while Monza will be desperate to secure their first win of the season. Both teams are coming into this clash with different fortunes, making this an intriguing contest.
Can Verona continue their resurgence, or will Monza finally break their winless run?
Verona will likely enter this match cautiously, looking to exploit Monza’s recent defensive vulnerabilities while ensuring they stay solid at the back. Paolo Zanetti’s men have been more dangerous in the second half, and this trend might play a key role in their approach.
Monza, meanwhile, will look to capitalize on Verona's defensive lapses. Alessandro Nesta’s side will likely set up to defend in a compact shape and rely on their target man Dany Mota to break down Verona's defense.
Verona's recent form has been mixed, with three losses in their last four games, although they did manage to bounce back with a 2-1 victory over Venezia. Casper Tengstedt and Daniel Mosquera have been key to their attack, and Verona has been particularly effective in the second half of matches. Verona has also won two of their first four home games, although they have lost the other two, showing inconsistency at Stadio Bentegodi.
The Gialloblu's tactical setup has focused on keeping possession and patiently building attacks, but they have been prone to defensive lapses, conceding too many chances, as seen in their last win over Venezia. Injuries could also be a factor, as Verona will be missing a few key players, including long-term absentees in defense.
Verona’s strengths lie in their ability to press high and capitalize on their opponents' mistakes, especially late in the game. However, their defense has been shaky, conceding three goals in successive league defeats to Torino and Como. This vulnerability will need addressing if they are to maintain their mid-table position.
Paolo Zanetti’s side has been heavily reliant on their new signings like Mosquera and Tengstedt, and their ability to lead the attack will be crucial if Verona hopes to climb further up the table.
Monza enters this match still searching for their first win of the season. Alessandro Nesta’s men have had a tough start, with four draws and three defeats in their opening seven games. Despite being in the relegation zone, Monza has shown signs of improvement, particularly in their 1-1 draw with Roma, where they managed to contain one of the league's top teams.
Dany Mota has been Monza’s standout performer, scoring two goals this season, including one against Roma. Monza’s struggles have stemmed from their inability to create chances, averaging just 0.6 goals per game. They have also failed to score in 12 away games dating back to last season, a worrying trend they will need to break.
Alessandro Nesta has implemented a defensive approach, focusing on keeping possession and looking to counter-attack through players like Mota and Matteo Pessina. However, Monza’s lack of firepower in front of goal has left them vulnerable to dropping points late in games.
Monza’s defense has been one of the few bright spots, keeping them in games against stronger opponents, but the lack of goals is the main reason for their winless start.
Verona: Montipo, Magnani, Coppola, Bradaric, Duda, Belahyane, Suslov, Kastanos, Lazovic, Tengstedt, Mosquera.
Monza: Pizzignacco, Izzo, Mari, Carboni, Pereira, Kyriakopoulos, Bondo, Pessina, Maldini, Mota, Djuric.
We expect a closely contested match at Bentegodi, with Verona pushing for an early lead but potentially struggling against Monza’s organized defense. Verona’s tendency to score late could play a role, especially as Monza tires.
Monza will likely look to hit on the break and test Verona’s defensive frailties. While Monza’s attack has been uninspiring, their defense could frustrate Verona. Given Verona’s mixed home form and Monza’s defensive solidity, this match could see a low-scoring outcome.
Our experts predict a narrow Monza victory, with the away side breaking their winless streak by edging Verona 0-1, possibly through a second-half goal.
Our pick for this match is Monza to win and keep a clean sheet. Despite their poor start, Monza has shown resilience in recent games, particularly against stronger teams like Roma. Alessandro Nesta’s defensive approach has kept them competitive, and Verona’s defensive vulnerabilities could allow Monza to snatch a win.
With Verona struggling to hold their defense together, Monza’s tactical discipline and ability to strike on the counter could be the deciding factors in this match.

Monza to win is our top pick for this match. Alessandro Nesta’s side has looked more composed in recent weeks and is due for a breakthrough win. Verona’s defensive issues, especially in the first half, could give Monza the chance to capitalize.
We predict a 0-1 scoreline in favor of Monza, with Dany Mota or Milan Djuric likely to make the difference. Given Verona’s inconsistency, Monza’s patience could pay off in what should be a tight contest.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
