In this week 4 match, on Tue Aug 30th, Roma plays host to Monza in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Serie A teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 4th placed Roma is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Cremonese. Chris Smalling scored the first goal for Roma in the 65th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Cremonese was frustrated by Roma’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Roma ended the match with the shutout victory. Roma is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while 20th placed Monza is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Udinese. Andrea Colpani scored the first goal for Monza in the 32nd minute, then Beto tied it up for Udinese in the 36th minute on a feed from Rodrigo Becão But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 77th minute on a goal by Iyenoma Udogie. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Monza’s top weapon lately has been Valentin Antov, who has 2 goals in the last five matches. Roma’s most prolific scorer has been Tammy Abraham. He has netted 2 goals over the last five matches.
