AC Milan will look to salvage some pride on the final day of a deeply disappointing season when they host bottom-placed Monza at the San Siro. Despite missing out on European football for the first time in a decade and facing strong criticism from fans, Milan are still overwhelming favourites to end their campaign with a win — and do so in style.
Milan vs Monza – This should be a walk in the park for AC Milan – Game Preview, Key Stats, Betting Predictions.
Why Milan Should Win:
The Rossoneri have been dominant against the league’s strugglers, winning 10 of their 11 matches against the current bottom six in Italy Serie A this season. Historically, they’ve also maintained complete control in this fixture, with four wins from five meetings with Monza since their promotion, including two wins at San Siro with seven goals scored.
Milan’s squad, even with absentees like Gimenez, Theo Hernandez, and Chukwueze, still boasts quality in depth. The potential farewell appearance for Rafael Leão, alongside the creativity of Christian Pulisic and the in-form Tijjani Reijnders, provides a strong attacking threat.

Monza’s Defensive Collapse:
Monza have endured a catastrophic season, losing 25 of their 37 games and conceding 67 goals — the second-worst defensive record in the league. Their 3-1 home loss to relegation rivals Empoli last weekend further exposed their defensive frailty. While they pulled off a shock win away at Udinese recently, that was their only win in their last 15 games and seems more of an anomaly than a resurgence.
On the road, Monza have been especially poor, losing 11 of their last 12 away games before that Udinese result, with most losses being by multiple goals.
Given their current form and depleted squad, they’re unlikely to withstand Milan’s attacking pressure.
Â
Goals Expected at Both Ends:
While Milan are expected to win, their defensive record is not perfect, with the team conceding first in 19 league matches this season — more than all but six other sides. Monza’s Gianluca Caprari has been involved in goals in his last two outings and could capitalize on any lapses. However, Milan’s firepower should overwhelm a Monza backline that has leaked goals all season.

Milan vs Monza Match Preview Conclusion:
With home advantage, superior squad quality, and the desire to end a difficult season on a positive note, Milan are likely to win convincingly. Monza’s fragile defense and Milan’s own defensive inconsistencies suggest goals will flow, likely pushing the total beyond 2.5.
