Roma enters this match in red-hot form, riding a nine-match unbeaten streak in Serie A and fresh off a thrilling 3-2 midweek victory in Porto in the Europa League.

This weekend, rivals Fiorentina, Milan, and Bologna all suffered defeats, providing Roma with a prime opportunity to narrow the gap to the top six, which is currently just five points away.

At home, Roma have been brilliant, winning five of their last six matches—including a 1-1 draw against Napoli—and securing three clean sheets.

Today, they face an underperforming Monza side that has struggled throughout the season, especially in away matches where they have gone nine games without a win, conceding 22 goals while scoring only six.

Notable absences include Dovbyk for Roma due to injuries, and for Monza, Izzo and Pessina are sidelined because of accumulated yellow cards and injuries.
