Udinese Calcio - AC Monza

Bluenergy Stadium, Udine, Italy

On Sunday, May 11, 2025, Udinese will face Monza in the 36th round of Italian Serie A. The clash between teams battling in the lower part of the table offers interesting statistical connections and the possibility of extending several streaks.

Udinese are unbeaten in their last five matches against Monza in Serie A (2 wins, 3 draws). Only against Pescara (eight), Alessandria (six), and Pisa (six) have the Bianconeri played more games without losing in the competition.

Udinese and Monza have both drawn the Bianconeri's home games in Serie A: 2-2 in April 2023, 0-0 in February 2024. Against no team have the Brianzoli drawn three away matches in the competition so far.

After a run of five defeats in a row, Udinese have earned four points in their last two Serie A games. The Bianconeri have failed to score in five of their last seven matches, as many as they did in their previous 23 league meetings.

Udinese have failed to score in their last three Serie A home games (1 draw, 2 losses) and they could fail to find the net for more successive matches on home soil in a single top-flight season for the first time since 1993/94 (five between October and January).

Monza have picked up just 15 points in 35 league games. The last team to end a Serie A season with 15 or fewer points was Ancona in 2003/04 (13). In a 20-team top-flight season, it would be a negative record (currently held by Salernitana with 17 in 2023/24).

Monza have lost each of their last 10 Serie A away games. The last team to go on such a longer streak on the road in the top flight was Benevento in 2017/18 (15).

No team have faced more total shots than Monza (516, along with Venezia) in Serie A this season. In detail, the Brianzoli have conceded 274 total shots in 2025: only four sides in the Big five European leagues have suffered more: Borussia Mönchengladbach (303), St Etienne (287), Ipswich Town (280), and Holstein Kiel (278).

On one hand, Udinese have scored 24% of their total goals with headed goals in Serie A this season (9/38): less only than Cagliari (25%). On the other hand, no team have netted fewer headed goals than Monza (two, level with Hellas Verona).

Jaka Bijol is the Udinese player with the most clearances (178), 102 of those with his head. Furthermore, none of his teammates have attempted more interceptions than him (37) in the current top-flight season.

Udinese are the team against which Gianluca Caprari has provided the most assists (five) in Serie A. Against the Bianconeri, he has also scored two goals, one of those at the Bluenergy Stadium in December 2020.

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
