Serie A 2024-2025: Monza-Torino, the likely lineups

Monza-Torino, probable formations

Serie A Sunday opens with Monza-Torino at 12:30 p.m. at the U-Power Stadium. Curiously, Monza’s first match in the top flight was è played against Torino on August 13, 2022, with the granata victorious 2-1 thanks to goals by Miranchuk and Sanabria, while for the brianzoli scored; Dany Mota.

After three days without victories, Torino è returned to success by beating AC Milan 2-1, thanks mainly to an outstanding performance by Milinkovic-Savic, who was decisive on more than one occasion and starred with a penalty saved by Pulisic. However, for the granata this is just the second victory since December, and their season now seems headed for a finale without any particular ambitions. Currently in 11th place, Vanoli’s team appears too far from the European positions to dream of a place in the cups, while the confrontation with Monza promises to be a challenge of similar symbolic value for the Brianzoli as well, albeit for opposite reasons.

The’last in the standings, in fact, è now increasingly close to relegation to Serie B. Alessandro Nesta’s return to the bench has not turned the tide, and the heavy 4-0 loss suffered at the’Olimpico against Roma has further reduced hopes of a comeback. Too many absences and too wide a gap from the salvation zone, with only 14 points collected so far.
