Only one Serie A team remains undefeated in 2023 and it is not the one you might assume. Napoli continue to swagger toward the Scudetto, 15 points clear at the top of Serie A, but they were beaten by Inter at the start of January. Monza drew with the Nerazzurri three days later and have not lost a game since 10 November.
A 1-0 win over Bologna on Sunday lifted them into the top half of the table. They are level on points with Juventus in ninth and while that situation owes to the Bianconeri’s points deduction, Monza have won both head-to-head games. Not bad for a club playing top-flight football for the first time.
