Fiorentina

LWDDDD

Fiorentina enter this game following a 1-1 Conference League Qualifiers drawn result vs Puskás Akadémia.

In that match, Fiorentina managed 44% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Fiorentina was Moise Kean (59'). At the other end, Puskas Akademia got 25 attempts at goal with 9 of them on target. Zsolt Nagy (90') was the scorer for Puskás Akadémia. The game was won 5-4 by Fiorentina on penalties.

It has not been often in recent times that Fiorentina haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Fiorentina have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 9 goals on the way.

Taking a look at their past results, Fiorentina:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Monza in their previous 2 games.
• are unbeaten in their previous 5 league matches at home.
• haven’t won at home in the past 2 league matches.

Monza

LLLDDL 📉

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Genoa in Serie A competition, Monza and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Monza managed 70% possession and 9 shots at goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, Genoa had 11 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. Andrea Pinamonti (45') was the scorer for Genoa.

The trend of at least one team not managing to score in games featuring Monza has become noticeable in recent matches. Checking on their last 6 meetings reveals that it has happened 5 times. During these clashes, their opponents have managed a goal aggregate of 6 and Monza have scored 1. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be sustained here, of course.

Coming into this fixture, Monza are without a win away from home in their last 6 league matches.

👥 Head to head

The previous league fixture featuring the two was Serie A match day 36 on 13/05/2024 and the score finished Fiorentina 2-1 Monza.

On that day, Fiorentina had 50% possession and 15 shots on goal with 8 on target. The goalscorers were Nicólas González (32') and Arthur Melo (78').

For their opponents, Monza had 6 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Milan Đurić (9') scored.

The referee was Luca Zufferli.

🗞️ Team News: Fiorentina

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the lone fitness concern for the Fiorentina gaffer Raffaelle Palladino to be concerned about from a near full-strength squad. Albert Gudmundsson (Calf problems) won’t play.

In all likelihood, La Viola look set to go for a 3-4-2-1 system this time featuring Pietro Terracciano, L. Martinez Quarta, Marin Pongracic, Luca Ranieri, Dodo, Cristiano Biraghi, Rolando Mandragora, Amir Richardson, Andrea Colpani, Riccardo Sottil and Moise Kean.

📋 Team News: Monza

Monza manager Alessandro Nesta has some current player fitness concerns. Patrick Ciurria (Meniscus injury) and Alessio Cragno (Shoulder injury) will not be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Brianzoli seem likely to begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 system, going with Semuel Pizzignacco, Armando Izzo, Pablo Mari, Andrea Carboni, Samuele Birindelli, G. Kyriakopoulos, Warren Bondo, Matteo Pessina, Daniel Maldini, Dany Mota and Milan Djuric.

💡 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Monza have it in them to breach the defence of this Fiorentina outfit, although that isn’t expected to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We are anticipating a narrow 2-1 advantage for Fiorentina at full-time. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
