- Venue: Brianteo (Monza)
On Monday evening, two out-of-form teams, Monza and Fiorentina, will face off against each other in Serie A at Brianteo Stadium at Monza.
After gaining promotion to the Italian Serie A in the 2021/22 season, Monza had two excellent seasons as they finished 11th and 12th in the following two seasons. Still, this year, they are not even close to that level. In fact, after losing the last five Serie A games, Monza are now the last-placed team with 10 points from 19 matches - seven away from the safe zone. They even tried changing the coach, but, for now, that did not pay off.
Fiorentina have been either seventh or eighth in Serie A in recent three seasons while having some good runs in the Conference League. This season, Viola have been excellent, but with only two points in the last five games in all competitions, there are slight concerns. Still, they are in 6th place in Serie A with 32 points - only three away from the Champions League spots and with one game played fewer than 4th-placed Lazio. So, we can safely say they are in a good position. Also, in the Conference League, Viola have been one of the best teams in the competition and deservedly are among the favorites for the title.
Monza vs Fiorentina pick: Both teams to score
Monza have been among the best teams for this type of bet, as 63% of their Serie A games finished with both teams scoring. Only Parma had more such games so far. Also, their defense has been atrocious lately, failing to keep a clean sheet in 12 consecutive games.
Fiorentina are a better team overall, no doubt about that, and scoring a goal against a team that struggled to keep their net intact is a must. But on the other hand, Viola haven't been impressive defensively, either. They failed to keep a clean sheet in all competitions in the last five games.
Both teams scored in the previous two h2h games. Moreover, both teams scored in five out of six h2h games - 83%.
Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, we believe that both teams scoring bet should be the best option for this Serie A tie.

Monza team news
Danilo D'Ambrosio received a red card in the previous game against Cagliari and will be suspended for the upcoming game. Still, since Pablo Mari served his one-game suspension, Danilo wouldn't start anyway. So, that suspension isn't such a big problem.
Alessandro Bianco is on a loan deal from Fiorentina and will most likely not be available for this game. Also, Matteo Pessina, Georgios Kyriakopoulos, Roberto Gagliardini, and Alessio Cragno, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.

Fiorentina team news
On January 2nd, the club signed Nicolás Valentini from Boca Juniors. The 23-year-old defender did not get playing time in his first game at the club, but we should expect him to play in this one, at least for limited minutes.
The team should have no new absences except for Cristiano Biraghi and Edoardo Bove, who already missed the previous games.
