&lt;p&gt;Second bottom versus bottom, and the obligation to win. This match is almost like an early relegation play-out tie: Venezia have a five-point gap to make up on 17th-place Lecce, who sit eleven points ahead of Monza.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the Brianzoli are hanging on by a thread, the Lagunari are looking for their first victory since beating Cagliari on 22 December. A win would be huge in the battle at the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD TO HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the 2000s, Venezia remained unbeaten in four (W3 D1) of the five matches played against Monza in Serie A and Serie B; the exception in this period was the match lost by the Venetians at home 0-2 in December 2020 in Serie B (goals by Carlos Augusto and Dany Mota for the Biancorossi).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Serie A and Serie B, only two of Monza`s 13 wins against Venezia have come away from home; however, one of these was achieved by them in their last away meeting on 11 December 2020, in Serie B (0-2).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After four consecutive wins, Monza have not won any of their last six matches (D3 L3) against newly promoted teams in Serie A: the last time they won against these opponents in the competition was in March 2024, against Cagliari (1-0 at home), with Raffaele Palladino as manager.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Monza have lost all of their last eight away league games, conceding at least two goals in each of them (24 in total, three per game); the last team to have a longer streak of consecutive away defeats with at least two goals conceded in the top-flight were Crotone between December 2020 and April 2021 (10).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Venezia have not won in 14 league games (D8 L6) – their last win in Serie A was on 22 December against Cagliari (2-1 at home) – and they could remain without a win for 15 games in a row for the first time since the period between March 2000 and December 2001 (21).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Venezia have failed to score in their last four Serie A games played at the Penzo and could go five consecutive home games without scoring for the first time in a single top-flight season (four also in 2001/02).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Monza have conceded the most headed goals in Serie A this season – 17, almost three times as many as Venezia (six) have conceded; considering the last 20 Serie A seasons (since 2005/06), only one team has conceded more headed goals in an entire season: Parma, in 2005/06 and 2020/21 (19 in both cases).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Venezia and Monza are the two teams that have had the fewest direct attacks in the current tournament (29 and 24 respectively); however, while Monza have scored four goals via a direct attack, Venezia are only one of two teams, together with Genoa, without such a goal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Christian Gytkjær wore the Monza shirt for three seasons, making a total of 82 appearances and scoring 21 goals in Serie A and Serie B (playoffs included); both goals scored by him in the current tournament with Venezia came away from home, while at Penzo he hasn`t found the net in the league for almost a year (26 April 2024, against Cremonese in the second division).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dany Mota (who scored against Como in the last round) could score in two matches in a row for only the second time in Serie A, also doing so last October against Roma and Hellas Verona. In the top-flight and Serie B (playoffs included), he is the player currently active with the most goals scored for Monza (32), 11 more than those scored by his former teammate Christian Gytkjær (21).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Kyriakopoulos (Monza)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Idzes, Perez (Venezia); Carboni (Monza)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MARESCA (MOKHTAR – FONTEMURATO) IV: COLLU, VAR: DI PAOLO, AVAR: VOLPI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli-Venezia (Sunday 20 April, 15.00 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Monza-Napoli&amp;nbsp; (Saturday 19 April, 18.00 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
