19:30 AC Milan vsMonza
In midweek, AC Milan played in the sixth round of the Champions League group stage, and the result was a 2-1 away defeat to Premier League side Newcastle United to win their second Champions League group stage, and ended up in third place, only to go to the Europa League play-offs.
Olivier Giroud set up Christian Pulisic's equaliser and Chukwueze came off the bench to win a crucial game for Stefano Pioli thanks to two new signings.
Milan's current form is described as "difficult to grasp" in a few words, relying entirely on the players' own freedom on the pitch.
Monza ended a three-game winless run with a narrow 1-0 home win over Genoa in the last round of Serie A, and can be regarded as regaining some form.
The all-time head-to-head record of the two teams, AC Milan "doubled" Monza last season.
Monza's biggest advantage in this game is to wait for work.
