Before the start of the season, the management of Monza had high expectations after the final return to Serie A. However, the club led by the famous Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galiani felt first hand the difference between playing in the first and second league of Italian football. In the opening four games in the championship, they have the same number of defeats with a very poor goal difference of 11 goals conceded and only two scored. They played against Torino, Napoli, Udinese and Roma and in all those matches they were more than a subordinate rival. Defeats against Roma and Napoli are certainly not surprising, after all, they are teams that belong to the top of Italian and world football, but the fans and management must have hoped for a slightly more favorable result against Torino and Udinese. During the summer transfer window, they brought in some interesting players like Marlon from Shakhtar, Andrea Petagna from Napoli, Matteo Pessina from Atalanta, but it is obvious that coach Stroppa has great problems to fit them into a functional unit. Today, they will have an extremely difficult task to win a positive result, because their guests will be a team that has been regarded as one of the best in the Italian league for years.

Atalanta had a great start to the season, winning three games against Torino, Verona and Sampdoria, while playing a draw with the excellent Milan at home. During the transfer period, they did not bring any important reinforcements, coach Gasperini decided to rely on proven players who have been in the team for a long time. Certainly, one of the advantages of Atalanta is that they have players who have been in the club for years. Zapata, Muriel, Malinovsky, Pasalic, Koopmeiners and others know each other very well, which can be seen in the way they play in every game. Towards the end of last season, Gasperini suffered some criticism because in some games he abandoned the extremely offensive style of play that Atalanta cultivated, but it seems that at the beginning of this season he returned to his recognizable style of play. What could be seen in Atalanta's matches so far is the great desire of the players to get to the lost ball as soon as possible and to be the ones who will ask about everything on the field. With only two goals conceded in four games, Atalanta's defense certainly deserves praise. With a possible victory today, Atalatna would take the first place in the table and I am sure that it will be enough motivation for the players.

在赛季开始之前，蒙扎的管理层对最终重返意甲抱有很高的期望。然而，以著名的贝卢斯科尼和加利亚尼为首的蒙扎俱乐部亲身感受到了在意大利足球甲级联赛和乙级联赛踢球的区别。在冠军联赛的前四场比赛中，他们的败绩相同，净胜球差很低，丢了11个球，只有2个进球。他们对阵过都灵、那不勒斯、乌迪内斯和罗马，在所有这些比赛中，他们不仅仅是一个次要的对手。输给罗马和那不勒斯当然不奇怪，毕竟这两支球队都属于意大利和世界足坛的顶级球队，但球迷和管理层肯定希望对阵都灵和乌迪内斯会有一个稍微有利一点的结果。在夏季转会窗口期间，他们引进了一些有趣的球员，比如矿工队的马龙，那不勒斯队的佩塔尼亚，亚特兰大队的佩西纳，但很明显，斯特罗帕教练在将他们融入一个有效的团队方面存在很大的问题。今天，他们将面临一个极其困难的任务，赢得一个积极的结果，因为他们的客人将是一支多年来一直被认为是意大利联赛最好的球队之一。

亚特兰大在本赛季有一个很好的开始，赢了三场都灵，维罗纳和桑普多利亚，同时在主场战平了出色的米兰。在转会期间，他们并没有带来任何重要的援军，主教练加斯佩里尼决定依靠那些在球队中久经考验的球员。当然，亚特兰大的优势之一就是他们的球员已经在俱乐部效力很多年了。萨帕塔、穆里尔、马林诺夫斯基、帕萨利奇、库梅纳斯等人都非常了解对方，这从他们每场比赛的表现就能看出来。上赛季快结束的时候，加斯佩里尼遭受了一些批评，因为他在一些比赛中放弃了亚特兰大培养的极具进攻性的打法，但似乎在本赛季开始的时候，他又回到了自己的比赛风格。到目前为止，在亚特兰大的比赛中可以看到的是球员们的巨大愿望，他们希望尽快拿到丢球，成为球场上询问一切的人。4场比赛只丢2球，亚特兰大的防守确实值得称赞。今天有可能取得胜利，阿塔拉特纳将会在积分榜上名列第一，我相信这对球员来说将是足够的动力。
