AC Monza vs Fiorentina Prediction 22.12.2023

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 22nd December 2023
• Time:  19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Brianteo (Monza)

Last season, Monza qualified for Serie A for the first time and immediately showed that this squad will not be just a mere participant in this competition. They finished their debut season in the 11th position in the table and won 52 points. Their goal is to make a breakthrough this season if possible, which is quite realistic. They have collected 21 points so far this season, but in recent weeks they are not in satisfactory form. In the last 5 matches, Monza won only once, and in the last match played, they were convincingly defeated at San Siro by Milan with a score of 3:0.

On the other side, Fiorentina has been playing very competitive football for another season in a row. In addition to solid results in Serie A, they also performed well in Europe, where after the group stage they managed to win direct placement in the 1/8 finals of the Europa Conference League. On Sunday, they played a rather strange match at home. In that match, they were completely outplayed by a much weaker team, but in the end they still won by a minimal score. One of the key moments of that match happened already in the third minute when Pietro Terracciano saved a penalty against Verona player Milan Djuric. At the end of the match, Verona were penalized for all misses, and the man of the decision was newcomer Lucas Beltran, who found himself in the right place at the right time and with his second goal of the season brought Fiorentina a very important three points.

AC Monza vs Fireontina pick: DOUBLE CHANCE, MONZA TO WIN OR DRAW

Monza is a team that last season won an equal number of points away from home and at home, but this season they look much more confident when they play at the Brianteo stadium. Last week against Milan, they played probably the worst match of the season and there should be no doubt that their players will do their best to make up for that defeat. A very difficult job awaits them because Fireontina is a very high-quality and solid team, but which is still in a slight decline in form caused by a very tight schedule. This is where the home team can look for their chance, but also in the fact that last season they played two very good matches against this opponent, in which they recorded a draw and a victory on this field.
