Two sides performing above expectations in Serie A meet at the U-Power Stadium on Friday, when Monza host Fiorentina.
In a meeting between two highly-regarded managers, Raffaele Palladino takes on Vincenzo Italiano, with both eyeing up qualification for Europe.
Pallardino's side currently sit 10th but are just five points behind Atalanta in the final European spot, with the race for those positions incredibly tight at present.
Home form has been key for Monza putting together another fine start, as they have lost just once in eight games at the U-Power Stadium, with defensively solidity proving crucial with four clean sheets in that time.
Only Juventus, AC Milan and Bologna have conceded fewer goals at home, but they suffered a bruising 3-0 defeat on the road at the hands of the Rossoneri last weekend, despite playing well and creating plenty of chances of their own.
Monza have lost five games this season, but they have all been against sides who finished in the top seven last season, remaining unbeaten in their 10 games against sides who did not finish in the European places.
