Monza vs Genoa

Andrea Pinamonti found his sixth Serie A goal with Genoa: the striker returned to score in the top flight with the Rossoblù for the first time since July 5, 2020 (vs. Udinese), 1511 days after the last time.

Excluding own goals, Genoa's last 11 goals scored in Serie A have come from 11 different players: Thorsby, Frendrup, Gudmundsson, Retegui, Ekuban, Badelj, Malinovskyi, Vitinha, Vogliacco, Messias and Pinamonti.

Among Italian players currently in the top flight, only Francesco Caputo (68), Andrea Belotti (58) and Riccardo Orsolini (51) have scored more Serie A goals in the last seven seasons than Andrea Pinamonti (41).

Monza have won their only two Serie A games played against Genoa; in their previous 40 Serie B matches against them, the Biancorossi team have won three times (D13, L24).

Monza have won two of their last three home games against Genoa between Serie A and Serie B (D1), as many wins as in their previous 18 home games against the Rossoblu (D9, L7).

Between the end of last season and the start of this one, Monza have failed to score in three games in a row – they have never gone four consecutive games without scoring in Serie A (three also in December 2023).

Monza have lost four of their last six home games in Serie A (W1, D1), as many defeats as they suffered in their previous 17 home games in the competition (W7, D6).

Genoa drew their first game of this campaign (2-2 against Inter) and have only drawn their first two Serie A seasonal matches two times so far: in 1992 and 1962.
