Their last three matches saw Monza drawing 1-1 with Torino, before taking out SSC Napoli by 2-0, and Sassuolo by 1-2. Monza claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Serie A. They also drew two and lost one, as they scored nine and conceded seven goals.
