Fiorentina vs Monza Prediction & Match Preview

Fiorentina vs Monza Prediction

Fiorentina host Monza in the last match of Gameweek No 36 on Monday evening at Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Viola will enter the tie in higher spirits after securing the UEFA Conference League final.

• Each of Fiorentina’s last five matches in all competitions provided goals at both ends.
• Monza go into this off the back of a 2-2 draw to Lazio.
• Vincenzo Italiano could rotate his starting XI after a tough Conference League clash last week in Belgium.

Lucas Beltran scored a precious late equalizer on Wednesday evening in Belgium. A 1-1 draw was enough for Fiorentina to advance to the Conference League final following a 3-2 victory in the first leg on the home patch. It was a very nervous game with as many as twelve yellow cards. Vincenzo Italiano might give some rest to his key players here.

Monza pretty much gave up the battle for the European positions with a streak of six successive games without a win in the Serie A. They are 11th in the league standings, five points shy of Fiorentina in 9th position. That said, Monza did produce a strong performance in a 2-2 stalemate to Lazio last Saturday. Can they build on it to pull off a result at Stadio Artemio Franchi?

• The outfits have a win, a draw, and a loss each in the previous three head-to-head outings.
• Monza are winless in the last two visits to Stadio Artemio Franchi. They’ve lost and drawn one game apiece.
• Both teams scored in three of the previous four H2H affairs.

Both Fiorentina and Monza have been playing attacking-minded football of late, leaving way too much space for the opponents to strike along the way. Each of Fiorentina’s last five games across competitions thus saw goals scored at both ends.

The run involves a painful 1-4 defeat at the hands of Atalanta in the Coppa Italia semi-final rematch at Gewiss Stadium. We also saw goals at both ends in each of Monza’s last three league fixtures. The visitors played a 2-2 stalemate to Lazio last weekend.

Knowing that three of their last four H2H clashes also produced goals at both ends, we have no other option but to back the Both Teams To Score pick as the main betting option at the 1.80 odds.

The value is with Monza here. The visitors are winless in six consecutive league games. However, they offered a great attacking display against Europa League hopefuls Lazio last weekend.

Also, Fiorentina played a very difficult second leg of their Conference League semi-final tie against Club Brugge away on Belgian soil five days ago. Fatigue will take its toll. In these circumstances, we like the away win or draw double chance bet at the 2.37 odds.
