Monza and Bologna, two unexpected contenders from Europe, will face off at the U-Power Stadium in Serie A on Thursday. Despite finishing in the middle of the table last season, they came close to securing European qualification, and their strong beginnings in the current season indicate that they might once again be in the running for European competition.

Despite starting the season in the lower half of Serie A, both teams have impressed after tough beginnings. Monza, led by Raffaele Palladino, amassed 52 points in their debut Serie A season and have continued their strong start. Despite hovering just two points above the relegation zone, they’ve collected more points in their first five games than in the first seven last season, even after facing tough opponents like Inter Milan, Atalanta, and Lazio. A recent draw in Rome boosts their optimism. Monza’s unbeaten home record includes wins against Empoli and a draw against high-flying Lecce. They’ll target a climb up the standings, with mostly non-European qualifiers in their next eight league matches.

Like Monza, Bologna faced a daunting start to their season but have emerged from it impressively. Despite an initial loss to AC Milan, Bologna has now gone undefeated in four consecutive matches, including draws against formidable opponents like Juventus and Napoli. Their opening schedule featured clashes with three top title contenders in the first five weeks, which was certainly a challenging task. However, under the leadership of Thiago Motta, Bologna has already accumulated six points and currently occupies the 11th position in the standings. With Monza as their upcoming opponent and matches against Empoli, Frosinone, and Sassuolo in their next five games, Bologna’s performance after the first ten matches will provide a clearer indication of their overall standing in the league.

Probable lineups

Monza probable starting lineup: Di Gregorio, D’Ambrosio, Pablo Mari, Caldirola, Donati, Gagliardini, Pessina, Ciurria, Colpani, Colombo, Dany Mota

Bologna probable starting lineup: Skorupski, De Silvestri, Beukema, Lucumi, Lykogiannis, Freuler, Aebischer, Ferguson, Orsolini, Zirkzee, Saelemaekers
