Empoli
Monza play host to Empoli at their Brianteo on day 25 of the 2022/2023 Serie A campaign. Monza have been performing above expectations this season, with the team sitting in 11th place in the standings, but they do not seem to be at the top of their game ahead of the visit of Empoli. Defender Giulio Donati serves a one-game ban, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Meanwhile, the Azzurri aim to put an end to their five-match winless run, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are going to put our money on both teams to score. As for the visiting team, both Nicolo Cambiaghi and Mattia Destro are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Lombardy. In their last encounter at the venue the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
