AC Milan will come into Serie A today’s soccer matches sitting outside of the Champions League places. But, they have certainly shown over the previous seven days that they have more than enough quality to get back into the top four places.
The Italian giants were sound winners over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League in midweek, but they are back on the road domestically on Saturday. Monza will be the hosts, as they look for a second straight victory. You can find out Monza AC Milan prediction here, as well as our best soccer picks.

Monza vs. AC Milan Recent Scores
Before making a Monza AC Milan prediction on the upcoming clash, it could be worth examining the recent meetings between the sides. AC Milan were 4-1 winners when the sides last clashed at the San Siro in October.
However, Monza is now unbeaten in their previous two clashes against sides from Lombardia. That includes a recent win against Cremonese and a draw against Inter Milan.
Monza vs. AC Milan Betting Analysis
Monza Facts To Know
It has been a welcome sight to have a new side in Serie A this term, and Monza has more than lived up to their promise of doing more than just making up the numbers. The Italian side currently sits tenth in the standings, and could move up to the lofty position of seventh with a victory against Milan this weekend.
Their recent form is incredibly strong, as they have gone five without defeat in Serie A, and have picked up three wins over that period. The Monza roster isn’t made up of worldwide stars, but they work productively as a team, and that is evident by their record this term.
This is their longest-ever unbeaten run in Serie A, and the addition of head coach Raffaele Palladino has been a shrewd piece of business. Only Napoli, Juventus, and Inter have picked up more points than Monza since the manager’s appointment in the middle of September.
AC Milan Facts To Know
The soccer betting will show AC Milan as clear favorites to win this game, but their recent form hasn’t been without its struggles. The reigning champions dropped out of the Champions League spots after suffering three straight defeats, and they will be looking to keep clean sheets in back-to-back games for the first time since August 2022 on Saturday.
However, the recent AC Milan stats do indicate that they are back to playing at a high level, as they have won each of their previous two games in all competitions. They were extremely professional in the Champions League in midweek, as they claimed a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
But, the Milan record on the road would be a concern for those taking the away side at a shot price. Milan has lost each of their previous two away from the San Siro without scoring. They could lose a third straight game on the road this weekend for the first time since October 2017.
Updates
Milan will still be without first-choice goalkeeper Mike Maignan this weekend, while Sergino Dest and Ismael Bennacer also remain out of action. However, Monza has no injury issues to contend with ahead of this fixture.

Monza vs. AC Milan Betting Prediction
When it comes to making our Monza AC Milan prediction, we have looked closely at the host’s recent record against Italy’s big teams. They have taken points off both Inter and Juventus since play resumed after the World Cup, and the job that Palladino is doing is nothing short of remarkable.
The fact that this also comes after a round of Champions League fixtures also means that we won’t be siding with AC Milan on Saturday. Therefore, we will be taking the draw, while over 2.5 goals also looks too big of a price.
- Pick 1: Draw (+230)
- Pick 2: Over 2.5 Goals (+110)
