Gustavo Varela set Monza’s single-season Serie A scoring record with his ninth goal last Saturday at Bologna. The 21-year-old passed Andrea Colpani, who scored eight in 2023–24, in his ninth league appearance of the season.

Varela converted a sixth-minute penalty, but Bologna came back to win 2–1. Monza has lost three straight league matches and four of its last five. Sunday’s opponent, Atalanta, sits four points above Monza and has gone without a league win since Oct. 12, Serie A said.

Varela and Atalanta forward Nikola Krstović led Serie A with five goals each in October. Monza and Atalanta meet at the Brianteo on Sunday at 9 a.m. ET.
