Monza vs Fiorentina prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 13, 2025
One of the matches of the 20th round of the Italian Serie A will take place on Monday at the "Brianteo" stadium, where Monza will host Fiorentina. We suggest a bet on goals in this match with favorable odds.
Match Preview
Salvatore Bocchetti's team suffered another defeat in the last round, losing 1-2 at home to Cagliari. This marked Monza's fifth consecutive loss in Serie A with the same scoreline, extending their winless streak in the league to 11 matches (3 draws and 8 losses).
Currently, the team is at the bottom of the standings with 10 points and has the worst home record in the league, with only three points earned all season. Moreover, Monza has not won in their last 13 home Serie A games (4 draws and 9 losses), underscoring their deep crisis.
In their last match, Fiorentina, under Raffaele Palladino, could not compete against the powerful Napoli and suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat at home. This result extended their winless streak in Serie A to four matches, with only one draw and three losses. Fiorentina's defense is struggling, conceding at least two goals in their last three matches.
Despite these difficulties, Fiorentina holds fourth place in the standings with 32 points and remains in contention for European qualification. On the road, Palladino's team shows better form: in their last seven away matches, they achieved four wins, two draws, and only one loss. These results indicate potential improvement if they stabilize their defense.
Expected Line-ups
- Monza: Turati, Carboni, Mari, Izzo, Kyriopoulos, Alessandro, Pessina, Pereira, Caprari, Mota, Djuric
- Fiorentina: De Gea, Ranieri, Pongracic, Martinez Quarta, Biraghi, Richardson, Amrabat, Mandragora, Sottil, Kean, Ikone
