Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Monza will be aiming to put an end to their five-game losing run in the Serie A when they take on Fiorentina on Matchday 20. The Biancorossi are running down a blind alley, with the team sitting in the relegation zone and they must be low on confidence following a 2-1 loss to Cagliari. As important midfielder Danilo D’Ambrosio misses out through suspension, we are not tempted to place our bets on the relegation strugglers.
The Viola, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to Napoli. Given Monza’s shaky defence, we predict that Raffaele Palladino’s men are going to return to winning ways in the Serie A this weekend. The Fiorentina boss has a luxury to field the best possible side against the Biancorossi. In their last meeting at Brianteo, Fiorentina defeated Monza 1-0, with Lucas Beltran scoring the only goal of the match.
