Monza is set to face Fiorentina in an exciting Serie A matchup this weekend. The clash will take place at the U-Power Stadium in Monza.

This win followed a tough 2-1 defeat to Bologna, where Monza’s defensive frailties were evident.
Fiorentina, meanwhile, will seek to secure three points after a tough 0-0 draw against Sassuolo, which halted their winning streak.

Italian media suggests that Fiorentina is favored to win, with odds favoring them at 23/20.
In terms of team news, Monza will be without forward Dany Mota due to an injury, while Fiorentina continues to have a fully fit squad. Key players to watch out for include Monza’s Bamford and Caprari, and Fiorentina’s Gonzalez and Arthur Melo. This match will be crucial for both teams’ aspirations for European qualification, making for an intense showdown.
