That stupid red card from Luka Jovic costs AC Milan a shocked loss to Monza but the player is facing with an additional punishment. It will potentially put Luka Jovic on suspended longer than initial ban on him.

Monza can hope that Torino will lose to Roma but the standings show something interesting. Clubs in a first half have positive goal differences and clubs in a second half all have negative goal differences including Monza.

Monza can fight for higher position in this season and consider it as an achievement for a small club that ranked up to Serie A recent months. It will be their gift for the ex-President Silvio Berlusconi who passed away months ago.

Monza does have a good chance of overtaking Torino. But the problem is that in 2 weeks Monza will also face Roma which could make Monza lose points again. But fortunately Torino also has a difficult 3 weeks ahead. Because Torino will face Roma, Fiorentina and Napoli. And maybe Monza can make the best use of this so as not to lose points in the next 3 weeks. And Torino actually also has 1 postponed match. But I don't think this postponed match will result in Torino getting any points. Because the opponent that Torino will face in the postponed match is Lazio, which is also a level above Torino every season. Even though this season they both seem to be at the same level.

I don't think any surprised match result when AC Milan defeated by Monza, actually Milan can balanced the games and hold draw Monza until 88th minutes although they had play with ten players. Its normal for team when losing their players since Luka Jovic received red card since 52th minutes and more than 40 minutes left Milan had to play with ten players. Losses focus few minutes matches ended and Milan conceded two goals in 90th minutes and second half additional time. Probably has difference match result if Milan not loss their players and potential for securing three points against Monza.

Current remaining 8 points from Atalanta, I think Milan still on secure position for Champion League spot standings, they will back to winning perform next match and settle on top fourth standings position for qualifying to UEFA Champion League next season.

you should never underestimate small teams, unfortunately in Italy this often happens. See how Atalanta silently managed to climb positions in the table without anyone saying anything or noticing. In the meantime he has won one match after another and is now in the cup zone. Just to show that you shouldn't underestimate anyone.
Obviously the first three positions in the ranking have become static now, making the championship a little boring.

It is very possible, Monza is currently in 11th place in the Serie A standings and their performance is quite good in the last few matches by being able to win 2 matches from their last 5 matches and 2 draws and 1 defeat, this is not a bad result for a mid-table team .
We cannot expect defeat from other teams because everything is possible, in football nothing is impossible.
Monza just needs to consistently maintain its performance and winning against AC MIlan is of course very important for those who can support the team's self-confidence to be able to perform better in the next match.

Don't they have a game in hand though? So the difference can be between 3 and 6 points. Not really that big if the plan is to overtake each other since they will likely lose points here and there. On the other hand, I don't think being 10th or 11th matters that much, or is there any financial incentive that I miss? Being ranked higher is always good, but you don't necessarily have to consider finishing 11th as a failure if your team is a mid-table team to begin with. That being said, Torino consistently finished 10th in the last 2 seasons iirc, while last year they finished 10th and Monza's 11th. It would be interesting if it was repeated again.

Monza, who managed to beat Milan in yesterday's match, has an even bigger chance of getting into the top 10. Now Monza is still ranked 11th but if Monza can maintain their victory even in the next match then of course Monza will be closer to overtaking Torino who is ranked 10th. Because Torino will most likely lose points in the following week. Because the opponent that Torino will face is an opponent that is currently in a good trend, namely AS Roma which is under the control of De Rossi, who has proven that Roma can approach a higher ranking and continue to get quite good results since De Rossi took over the coaching bench. .

Wins like this comes from other some shock for the team and the fans also. Monza wouldn’t have expected to win AC Milan at home with two goals margin. It was an unexpected win for them and they deserved they put in the effort to make it happen for themselves. It is now left for Monza to see to how they can keep up the winning in their upcoming matches. Sometimes, wins like this come with a lot of courage to do more especially when playing with teams of the same contemporaries like them. This should make them do more in their upcoming matches and keep the tempo high on their side and if they are able to pull through again like this in one or two matches coming next, their opponents will be scared of facing them and be more sceptical with their approach to them when they meet.

Acmilan was not that strong but it's only lucky enough. Im not seeing impressive performance from whole of acmilan players. Some may be peforming a big higher compared to the majority of players in the club but acmilan is not that strong as you said that above. Acmilan is always performing like that.
People were being so upset with the performance from ACmilan and me too. I don't even think this club will able to improve before the end of season. The main target owned by pioli to help milan to qualify for the UCL and no more than it. It's caused by acmilan is not the same like intermilan which is always showing stagnant trend on its performance.
I dunno what's wrong with acmilan but pioli does no impact to the club. The management needs to reconsider his chance to stay for another season in the club coz i demand him to leave from acmilan as soon as possible. It's caused by the worst performance showed by milan.
The attackers of milan being so wasteful and they have been wasting many opportunities. How can we keep to bet in this garbage team if it will suffer another lose? I think that if people will not be likely picking as milan as their favorite bets in the upcoming fixtures.
Even bologna as imitation from milan is showing quite consistent performance. Im concerning about how acmilan can go up again to stick with juventus and intermilan. The wnner will be intermilan but acmilan can still at very least try to qualify for UCL.

I'm sure many are disappointed with these results. Especially those of us who bet on Milan with great confidence. Because I thought that Milan could win easily in that match but my guess was wrong and Monza taught me a lesson that they are not a team to be underestimated.

Most of the match results this week did not go according to what we predicted. Many match results ended in surprises. such as Napoli being held to a draw by Genoa, then Juventus being held to a draw by Verona and Lazio also losing to Bologna. And only Roma and Inter didn't disappoint us this week. 

Yes, this is an unexpected defeat because of course many bettors are betting on AC Milan in this match because in the last few matches AC Milan has started to improve but it turns out that this is not enough to fully prove it because AC Milan still looks a little difficult. to play against a mediocre team, so for the next match played by AC Milan, you should be more careful when betting on a team like AC Milan.

Inter are definitely smiling broadly now because they see the teams below them getting further away from the title race, so now Inter just needs to focus on maintaining their performance so they don't make mistakes and can win the Scudetto.

It was truly a surprising result. Monza had unique statistics in that match. They scored 2 goals at the end of the first half, then scored the next 2 goals at the end of the second half. Did they play with all-out tactics at the end of the half? In essence, they managed to surprise people because they managed to beat AC Milan.

I don't think there is any motivation for AC Milan to move Juventus in second place. This means that they are currently 7 points ahead of Bologna so they don't need to worry about being overtaken by Bologna or Atalanta and not qualifying for the Champions League next season. I think with the current number of points Milan just need to get a few wins and not chase anything in the league.

A lot of things happen accidentally in the game of football, so there is nothing to be disappointed by watching one or two such matches.  We all know that AC Milan is a good team and it shows in their performance. they unfortunately lost yesterday's match.  It can be said that it was their weakness but they should not be blamed for it. No team ever wants to lose a match especially good teams always want to maintain their reputation. But sometimes we have to lose some matches without our knowledge. But it doesn't matter AC Milan will learn more from this where their weaknesses are and they will try to play much better in the next match

There were a lot of people who lost their bets in this match because previously no one expected that AC MIlan, who has been in their best form in the last few matches, could lose against a bottom team like Monza and I'm not surprised because this is Serie A, there are lots of surprises that happen and In fact, that has been happening since the previous season.
and unexpected things often happen in football, they cannot be predicted and I think AC Milan, who got a red card at the start of the second half, couldn't do much to turn things around and I don't think that the AC Milan team lost the match on purpose This.

There is no greater motivation for the Juventus team at the moment after they are so far behind Inter Milan at the top of the standings and it seems like it is impossible for Juventus to catch up again.
When the performance of a team like Juventus is in a very bad state, it is quite risky to bet on their victory, perhaps a good betting option is between goals over or goals under.

Inter Milan can currently sit comfortably at the top of the standings because their rivals are increasingly losing their balance in fighting for a place at the top of the standings. Even Juventus, after experiencing defeat to Inter Milan, has yet to win and in the last 5 matches it shows that Juventus' performance is increasingly declining. Meanwhile, Milan also after losing to Monza and lost 1 player in this match, so they lost their balance even more and this defeat is not surprising because Milan sometimes also lack stability in the season when they face quite busy matches, although this is not the expected result, but this is it Football always has surprises in it.

Indeed, Juventus' recent performance has disappointed its supporters and also the bettors who favored Juventus to win, because after experiencing a defeat against Udinese, which is also a weak club, Juventus also experienced a draw against another weak club and now the points gap with Inter Milan is getting wide. Juventus opportunity is to maintain its position in 2nd place before Milan takes over the ranking if Juventus suffers another defeat or draw.

The poor form and performance of their rivals gave them the advantage and they didn't take chances but grab the opportunities when it came knocking. This is a club with an ambition to win the league trophy this season and since the beginning of the season they've been the one of the most outstanding team and worked their way up to the very top of the league, they've maintained that position for a very long time and it's obvious that they'll win the Scudetto this season. Well AC Milan's defeat by Monza really came as a suprise and to make things worst they got booked with a red card.

 Juventus had an opportunity to close the gap to about 7 points but they went ahead to draw with a team in the relegation zone and widened the gap to about 9 points currently. That's very bad cause it's affected their chances of winning the Scudetto and further put Inter far ahead of them. I don't see Inter taking any chances, if you notice, they're the only team that's won their last 5 fixtures in the Serie A.

But honestly Monza played very well, I almost did not expect that Ac Milan could not be made to move like that in this match, yes even though they could collect two goals to keep up but Monza could not be stopped easily, 4 goals they collected for victory in the 25th week match.

Inter Milan like the easy way to go to the top until the end of this season, Juventus from their last 5 matches got the results of 2 draws and 2 defeats, of course making Inter Milan much more comfortable at the top of the standings, as well as AC Milan who often lose concentration and consistency in collecting points, in view of the match against Monza I think the formation applied by Pioli is easily penetrated by Monza which results in their defense being very weak.

The results of last week's match made Inter Milan feel at an advantage because their competitors experienced draws and losses so that Inter Milan became more comfortable at the top of the standings. AC Milan lost concentration on playing better when one player got a red card and they tried to play carefully so as not to concede more goals. But unfortunately Monza responded well and they tried to throw away attacks so they managed to take advantage of the opportunities to score goals which gave them the win.

What was even more disappointing was that Juventus drew with a bottom team that is in the relegation zone and I saw that Juventus' performance really did not show a game like a club capable of competing for the title this season. Two points behind Juventus and this will be quite fierce competition in the top two to three standings because Juventus and AC Milan's points are quite close.

Its not easy for signing Antonio Conte as Milan's manager because he has huge payment salary and won't little money for signing players, believe or not Milan financial condition is not really well regarding last several transfer players more dominance with loan or free agent. Seems Antonio Conte prefer to be Juventus manager if they will sack Massimo Allegri have bad result in last several matches. Current performance from AC Milan I think he not only has to sack Pioli but also they need allocated much money for active in transfer window signing many top players.

Actually between Milan and Juventus are both teams have inconsistency performance this season and difficult pressure Inter Milan on the top standings position. Seems Scudetto tittle race over with Inter Milan one step forward to be the winner and Juventus achievement should finish in Champion League spot standings.

Acmilan can only compete for UCL this time. This club has zero chance to enter into the title race caused by intermilan has been fully dominating it. I think that other clubs have no chance to get scudetto this seaosn. it's caused by the situation is impossible due to the big gap between intermilan and its competitors.
Milan played so horrible against monza and im getting very upset to the performance from this club. it feels like we have lost the good performance from milan. There may be annoying aspect that is greatly impacting the club. The line up was bad and the way acmilan set up was bad.
Acmilan team was not very compact defensively and struggled against monza. Acmilan was still lucked enough caused monza has more chances to add more goals but milan was lucky enough. All of acmilan fans did nothing even though it were scoring two goals but what's that mean?
It means nothing at all. Milan was still losing against monza. The fact that if it was conceded a lot of goals against a mediocre club like monza which was very pathetic. All what acmilan did during the game is aimlessly pass the ball around.


I don't even see if milan had a target that can be achieved during the game. it's such a disgraceful to see milan lost against a club like monzao. I would not be the only one that would be complaining about how badly the performance from milan. And that's why i will give credit to the monza.
Monza's defensive structure was so brilliant. Monza did look a bit disjoined, but it's still going very well for the club.
