Monza will welcome Udinese to Stadio Brianteo in Serie A on Monday. The hosts have just one win in 14 league games and are in 19th place in the league table with 10 points. The Friulani have fared a little better with five wins and are in ninth place with 17 points.
The Brianzoli are winless in their last seven games in all competitions. They played out a second consecutive draw in the league last week, with a 1-1 away stalemate against Como. Gianluca Caprari scored the equalizer in the 54th minute. They failed to build on that form and suffered a 4-0 loss to Bologna in the Coppa Italia round of 16 on Tuesday.
The visitors have endured a poor run of form, suffering four losses in their last five games. They failed to score for the fourth time in the league last week, falling to a 2-0 home loss to Genoa. Defender Isaak Touré was sent off in the fourth minute, which gave Genoa the numerical advantage.

Monza vs Udinese Prediction
The Brianzoli have drawn their two league games after the international break and will look to continue on that form. Interestingly, they have lost their last two home games, while failing to score and will look to return to goalscoring ways. They are winless in their last three home games in this fixture, with two ending in draws.
There is no team news update for Alessandro Nesta as Matteo Pessina, Roberto Gagliardini, and Alessio Cragno remain sidelined with injuries.
The Friulani are winless in their last five league games, conceding 10 goals, and will look to improve upon that record. They have scored at least two goals in three of their last five meetings against the hosts.
Alexis Sánchez, Gerard Deulofeu, and Martín Payero will miss the trip to Lombardy due to injuries. Isaak Touré will serve a suspension and Thomas Thiesson Kristensen is likely to start here.
Considering the current goalscoring form of the two teams and recent history, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.
