Fiorentina vs Monza Prediction

Fiorentina Form

Fiorentina are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Sampdoria by 0-2, before beating Salernitana by 2-1. The winning streak came to an end against AC Milan, who ran out 2-1 winners. Fiorentina claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Serie A. They also drew two and lost two, scored eight goals and conceded ten.

An optimal season could perhaps see Fiorentina qualifying for Europe but so far, they look well underway to a nice mid-table finish.

Monza Form

Six points is Monza have to show from their past three matches, as they beat Verona by 2-0. This was followed by a 1-0 defeat against Lazio, before winning 3-0 against Salernitana. In their last six Serie A away matches, Monza failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn one and lost four, scoring five while also conceding ten times.

Aiming for a mid-table finish Monza would require a quick upturn in form to achieve even that.
