Monza host in-form Cagliari at the Brianteo
Monza welcome Cagliari to the Stadio Brianteo for a Matchday 7 fixture in Serie A, with the hosts hoping to arrest a wobbly run of results against visitors who arrive with considerably more momentum.
Contrasting recent form
Monza's last five league outings have produced just a single win against three defeats, a sequence that leaves them searching for a response in front of their own supporters. Cagliari, by contrast, have won three of their previous five matches, a record that puts them clearly ahead of their hosts in terms of recent output.
That disparity in form will be central to how this game is approached, with Cagliari arriving as the side in the better rhythm heading into the weekend fixture.
A recent history favouring the visitors
The head-to-head record also leans towards Cagliari. Their last two meetings both ended in victory for the Sardinian club, including a 3-0 win in March 2025 and a 1-2 success in Monza in January of the same year. Monza's most recent win over Cagliari came back in March 2024, a narrow 1-0 result, while the sides also shared a 1-1 draw in Cagliari in November 2023.
With that pattern in mind, Monza will be keen to end a run that has not favoured them in recent fixtures against this particular opponent.
