Monza vs Venezia

Milan Djuric has scored three goals in this Serie A, none of them from a header: the striker has never scored more goals ‘of foot’ in a single season in the top league (three also last year, out of a total of nine).

Venezia scored at least two goals in a first half for the first time in this Serie A: it has not happened in the top league since 8 May 2022 against Bologna, with Andrea Soncin on the bench.

Third Serie A goal for Georgios Kyriakopoulos, the first in the current league. The Greek's last goal in the top league dates back to 15 October 2022 (with Sassuolo vs Atalanta), exactly 743 days ago.

In each of the last two seasons in which Monza and Venezia have met (Serie C 2014/15 and Serie B 2020/21), the team from Brianza won the first leg and the venetians won the second leg; however, these successes have all come away from home.

Venezia have won the last two championship away games against Monza, between Serie C and Serie B, with an aggregate score of 6-2.

Monza have won four of their last five Serie A matches (1L) against newly promoted teams, after having achieved just one success in each of their first five matches (D3, L1) against these opponents in the competition.

Venezia have lost five of their last six championship games (W1); however, the “arancioneroverdi” are unbeaten in four (W2, D2) of the last five Serie A matches played when bottom of the table at the start of the day, only losing in the most recent match, against Atalanta (0-2).

With their 3-0 success against Hellas Verona, Monza have won a Serie A match after a run of 16 league matches without success; the last time the Brianza team recorded two victories in a row in the competition was last March (against Genoa and Cagliari).
