Monza vs Fiorentina
Italian Serie A
Date: 23 April 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
Venue: U-Power Stadium (Monza).
Monza claimed a big Inter Milan scalp last Saturday to make another huge step towards securing the top flight survival.
The team led by Raffaele Palladino are now 16 points above the red zone and only a miracle could see them returning to Serie B football next year.
Defender Luca Caldirola got his maiden goal of the season last weekend to bring his team a three-pointer at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Palladino was thrilled to see his men keeping things quiet at the back after allowing two goals in each of the previous two league affairs against Lazio and Udinese.
Monza are now 13th in the league table and they sit just four points shy of 9th-placed Fiorentina ahead of their head to head encounter on Sunday afternoon t U-Power Stadium.
The top half finish could easily be on the cards for the hosts with a victory here but getting one will represent a big challenge without a doubt.
I Viola are still enjoying their best form of the season. They are unbeaten in 15 subsequent outings across competitions and they have just reached the semifinal of the UEFA Europa Conference League after eliminating Polish side Lech Poznan on Thursday night.
The rock-solid defense has been the key to success for Vincenzo Italiano’s troops who have allowed just two goals in the last five league affairs despite facing Inter Milan and Atalanta in the process.
