Pre Match

Napoli have won and scored exactly four goals in two of their four Serie A matches against Monza; however, they have drawn and lost in the other two, without scoring.

Monza have avoided defeat in five of their seven away matches against Napoli between Serie A and Serie B (W2 D3), however the two defeats arrived on the only two of these occasions in which the two teams faced each other in Napoli before October in that season: 5-0 in Serie B on 20 September 1964 and 4-0 in Serie A on 21 August 2022.

Napoli have picked up 10 points in the first five MDs in the current league season. With a win against Monza they would rise to 13, a milestone that in the first six games of the season they have reached or surpassed six times in the previous eight Serie A campaigns; the most of any team in this period.

Among the teams currently in Serie A, Monza are on the longest winless run in league competition (14 games - D6 L8); the last non-promoted Lombard team to have recorded a longer streak of consecutive matches in the top flight without a win was Atalanta in 1994 (16).

Napoli have won their first two home league games under Antonio Conte, who could become the sixth manager to win in each of the first three home games for the Partenopei in Serie A, after Paolo Iodice (in 1939), Luis Vinicio (in 1973), Alberto Bigon (in 1989), Carlo Ancelotti (in 2018) and Luciano Spalletti (in 2021).
