Monastir vs Latte Dolce - Serie D - Girone G

A fascinating Serie D - Girone G chapter awaits on October 11, 2026 when Monastir take on Latte Dolce at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Manchester City face the K-League All-Stars in Seoul as part of their pre-season tour of Asia.

Both camps will view the Serie D - Girone G meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. Monastir have found a groove, WLW across their last five and operating at a win rate of 75% this season. The visitors arrive short of confidence, LDLL in their last five and a season win rate of just 0%. Their respective approaches this season have differed noticeably, and the tactical contrast could prove telling. Tim Sherwood makes his predictions for the new Premier League season, including who he thinks will make the top four in the table.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Monastir may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Latte Dolce have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. In his press conference on Friday, Tuchel admitted it 'hurt him' not to play the United man in America.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. The 6ft 5in defender continued to be around the first team and made the squad for both legs against Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals.

The fixture has the feel of a coin-flip, and picking a winner with any conviction would require a braver pundit than most. With the sides so closely matched, a 3-3 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. Manchester City will begin another Premier League season with major uncertainty hanging over the club after league chief executive Richard Masters admitted the long-awaited verdict on their financial case has taken longer than expected.
