Monza vs Fiorentina Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Biancorossi will take on Gigiliati on matchday 20 in the Serie A.

Monza host Fiorentina in the last game of matchday number 20 in Serie A on Monday evening. Monza took the decision to appoint AC Milan legend Alessandro Nesta but his managerial credentials were always a concern and they currently sit rock-bottom in Serie A as they look destined for relegation. Nesta has been sacked and replaced by Salvatore Bocchetti.

In 19 games they have only got 10 points on the board and are suffering a lot this season. They will have to give their best to get something from the match to make their fans happy.

Fiorentina extended their winless thread to five games in all competitions by failing 0-3 at home to Napoli last time out. They won four times in their last six away games in the Serie A, in which they drew once and lost once. Overall they are a quality side who will be hungry to get their win in this away game.

In the early part of the season, it looked like they were in the title race but as things stand they are out of the title race. They have 32 points from 18 games and are sitting at the sixth spot in the table. Considering their form even Monza will be a big challenge for La Viola.

Players to Watch

Gianluca Caprari (Monza)

Caparari can score with thunderous volleys and long-range drives, dribble past opponents, and has superb passing vision. He plays a crucial role in Monza’s attack and is of great importance to them. Overall, Monza’s season has been very poor but Caprari’s performance has been a positive thing for them.

Even though the Italian has failed to lead his team to victory on many occasions, he always tries to not let his confidence down. Caprari is a player who shows a tremendous amount of patience and calmness on the field. Statistically his season has been poor just like his team, in 19 games he has only scored two goals and provided a single assist.

Riccardo Sottil (Fiorentina)

Sottil has developed into an extremely creative player from deeper positions. He sees the game very well. His ability to drop into pockets of space to receive the ball from deeper teammates means that he can act as the link player between the defensive third and the attacking third of Fiorentina.

The Italian is an aggressive player who presses high up with intensity. Sottil has got decent pace and with his lethal crossing ability, he can assist his teammates in scoring goals. He also has tricks under his sleeves which helps him to get past defenders easily. In 15 games, he scored one and provided one assist. Sottil has a passing accuracy of 81% on average per game.
