Quotes
"It wasn't the approach, they were going stronger than us. It also happened last year, we struggle to keep this tempo," Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini said after his side's loss to Frosinone.
"In the second half, when the pace drops, we manage to play a different game. We missed some chances, even easy ones, and this game came out.
"We know that in certain situations we struggle, when the games take other turns, we manage to straighten it out. This is also a new season, it's a very tough season for us and we must have a lot of humility. Talk is of little use."
Head-to-Head
Atalanta hammered Monza 5-2 in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 4 June 2023 at the Gewiss Stadium.
Therefore, the Goddess boast of an unbeaten record against the White and Reds in Seria A having won both their two matches.
This is Monza's second season in the Italian top-flight having been promoted for the first time in 2022.
