Empoli vs Monza Prediction & Match Preview

• Empoli failed to register a shot on target last weekend against Hellas Verona.
• They have four defeats and a draw in the last five league outings.
• Empoli also own the worst attacking record in the Serie A with 11 goals scored in the opening 20 rounds.

Empoli took just one point from the previous five league games and they are winless in eight successive matches in the elite class of Italian football. Last weekend’s 1-2 loss at direct relegation rivals Hellas Verona has put Davide Nicola’s squad in a very difficult situation as the safe zone is now as many as five points away.

Empoli offered another dismal display last Saturday, registering no more than a single shot on target in the 90 minutes of play against Verona. They will be looking to rebound on Sunday afternoon in the home clash with Monza but it will be easier said than done with the current form.

Monza did win just two of the last nine league outings and they’ll go into this off the back of a disastrous defeat to Inter Milan (1-5) last weekend but we still see them as pretty clear favorites here.

Monza lost just one of the previous five away fixtures in the league, scoring three or more goals in two of these games along the way. They are now up against the division’s worst attacking line as no other team scored fewer than Empoli’s 11 goals in the inaugural 20 rounds of the competition.

Recent Meetings

Monza did not have many problems in the return game played between these two sides in August last year when they claimed a 2-0 victory at U-Power Stadium.

Empoli have three wins and a draw in the last four home matches against Monza, though.

Only one of the previous six head to head affairs between these teams produced three or more goals.

Empoli vs Monza Prediction

This is a massive game for Empoli but their current form does not promise much ahead of Monza’s trip.

We’ll back the visitors to get the win at the 2.45 odds while you can alternatively opt for the Under 2.5 goals FT pick at the 1.75 odds.
