Monza v Fiorentina

Monza vs Fiorentina Preview

Monza slumped to a fifth straight league defeat on the trot in the Italian top flight last weekend when the hosts were handed a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Cagliari which in turn extended Salvatore Bocchetti's side's winless run in Serie A to a miserable 11 games.

Fiorentina were also dealt a defeat in last weekend's Serie A action as they suffered a heavy 3-0 loss at home to the league leaders Napoli, making it three defeats in their last four games overall in the domestic top flight but nevertheless, the visitors still remain in the top six pack in the table.

Monza currently sit bottom of the Serie A table and find themselves seven points adrift of fourth from bottom Cagliari and safety ahead of Monday night's encounter against Fiorentina at their U-Power Stadium and having failed to win their last 11 league matches, the hosts' chances of picking up all three points in this fixture look fairly unlikely.

In addition, Monza have slipped to no fewer than eight defeats within these previous 11 games, but the goals market may provide a decent opportunity as seven out of their last 10 matches overall have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.

There have also been six score-draws to date this season involving Monza.

Fiorentina are just about clinging onto their place in the top six in the Serie A table despite slipping to three defeats out of their last four games in the domestic top flight following losses at the hands of Bologna, Udinese and Napoli respectively, while picking up just one point from the last 12 points on offer.

That singular point was gained by way of a creditable 2-2 draw away from home at Juventus but the visitors know they must get something from this upcoming trip to the U-Power Stadium on Monday night if they are to remain in the top six.

This recent slump in form is in stark contrast to how Fiorentina had performed previously in the Italian top flight as La Vilola had been dealt just the single loss in their preceding 14 games overall, whilst collecting no fewer than nine wins in the process.

However, the visitors may still fancy their chances of a result away from home at the bottom club in the division here on Monday night considering how poor Monza's form has been for the last few months in the top flight, while Fiorentina have lost just twice in their nine outings on the road to date.

Fiorentina have also scored in 11 of their last 13 away games in Serie A.
