Empoli are the guests at The U-Power Stadium on Sunday for their Serie A game with Monza. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.
Monza are hoping to win again after their last result, the 1-2 Serie A victory versus Udinese. In our view, Brianzoli will probably go for a 3-5-1-1 system for the game featuring Semuel Pizzignacco, Stefan Lekovic, Arvid Brorsson, Andrea Carboni, Samuele Birindelli, J. Daniel Akpa, Alessandro Bianco, Gaetano Castrovilli, G. Kyriakopoulos, Omari Forson and Keita Baldé.
Silvere Ganvoula, Armando Izzo, Luca Caldirola, Roberto Gagliardini, Dany Mota and Matteo Pessina are unavailable for Monza gaffer Alessandro Nesta.
How Monza could look against Empoli
Empoli will come into the match following a 2-1 Serie A win vs Parma in their previous outing. We reckon that Azzurri seem most likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 lineup by sending out Devis Vásquez, Luca Marianucci, Ardian Ismajli, Mattia Viti, E. Quartsin Gyasi, Alberto Grassi, Liam Henderson, Giuseppe Pezzella, Jacopo Fazzini, Liberato Cacace and Sebastiano Esposito.
Empoli boss Roberto D'Aversa has some current player fitness concerns. Nicolas Haas (Cruciate ligament injury), Christian Kouamé (Cruciate ligament tear), Pietro Pellegri (Cruciate ligament tear), Saba Sazonov (Cruciate ligament surgery), Szymon Żurkowski (Knee problems) and Youssef Maleh (Collateral ligament injury) are not ready for selection.
