In England, match-day is a sacred occasion, and today is no different for AC Monza and AC Milan. The coming match marks a historic moment as the Brianza outfit play host to the Rossoneri for the first time in history, under the watchful gaze of the Rossoneri club legends Galliani and Berlusconi. But make no mistake, both teams are hungry for the three points on offer, and there will be no concessions.
AC Milan's manager Stefano Pioli has opted to rest Olivier Giroud, giving Belgian striker Divock Origi a chance to shine alongside the ever-present left-winger Rafael Leao. The midfield will see a toss-up between Spanish playmaker Brahim Diaz and Charles De Ketelaere, with the Spaniard reportedly edging out his Belgian counterpart. Meanwhile, as per Tuttosport, Alexis Saelemaekers and Junior Messias are competing for a spot on the wing, with the Brazilian holding the advantage.
Palladino has a heavy task on his hands, with the absence of Carlos Augusto weighing heavily on his side. Donati will step in, but his contributions in counterattacks may not be enough. As a result, there is a suggestion to place Ciurria on the left flank. In defense, the former Sassuolo player Marlon appears to have won the duel against Caldriola. Petagna will lead the line, with Caprari and Pessina supporting from behind. Lastly, Dany Mota has been tested as a potential substitute.
