Monza and Fiorentina bring round 20 of the Italian Serie A to an end when they square off at the U-Power Stadium on Monday. Salvatore Bocchetti’s men head into the weekend without a win in their 10 home games in the league this season and will be looking to end this poor record.
Monza were left empty-handed once again as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Cagliari at the U-Power Stadium in their first outing of the new year last Sunday.
Bocchetti’s side have lost six games on the spin and are without a win in their last 12 matches across all competitions, losing nine and claiming three draws since October’s 3-0 victory over Hellas Verona.
Monza have managed just one win from their 19 Serie A games this season while losing 11 and claiming seven draws to collect 10 points and sit rock-bottom in the table.

Despite their recent drop-off in form, Fiorentina remain firmly in the race for European football as they sit sixth in the table with 32 points from 18 games, four points off the top-four places.
