Monza and Fiorentina have both made encouraging starts to the Serie A season this term, with both currently locked inside the top ten. However, both will be looking to give their fans an early Christmas present by claiming maximum points when they collide on Friday.
Serie A Preview
Exciting action in Serie A is set for Friday evening. Fiorentina will likely come into the showdown with the greater need to claim maximum points, as the Italian club are in the mix for a Champions League finish this term. They come into this match sitting sixth in the standings after winning eight of their opening 16 matches, and a victory on Friday could lift them up to fourth.
Their recent form has also been incredibly consistent, as they have gone three without defeat. Meanwhile, they have recorded victories in two of their last three matches in the competition. Fiorentina’s most recent success was a hard-fought win at home against Verona on Sunday, with Lucas Beltran netting the winner with just over ten minutes remaining.
Monza will be in front of their home fans on Friday, with the hosts looking to end an indifferent run of form after suffering defeats in two of their last three. Wins have also come in short supply over recent weeks, with Monza landing just a single victory in their last five. However, a return to form could lift them up to ninth this weekend.
A much better performance will be required this weekend, as Monza were swatted aside in their latest Serie A match by AC Milan. Despite registering 21 shots in that match, Monza only hit the target on four occasions. They will need to be more clinical in the final third on Friday.
Monza vs Fiorentina Head to Head
Monza picked up a 3-2 win in this exact fixture last term, with the sides locked at 2-2 at the half time break. The only other meeting in 2022-23 saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw in January.
Monza vs Fiorentina Prediction
The hosts come into this match in a difficult period, and it could be hard to see them landing a second straight home win against the visitors. Therefore, the preference this week is for the visitors to secure victory to enhance their Champions League hopes.
