Match Analysis

Monza's recent performances have been a mixed bag, with a notable away victory against Udinese, scoring 2 goals and conceding 1. However, their form has been inconsistent as they suffered heavy defeats to Atalanta and Juventus, both without scoring. Monza's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game in their last five matches, with no clean sheets to bolster their confidence. Empoli, on the other hand, secured a crucial win against Parma in their last outing, edging their opponents 2-1 at home. However, they struggled against higher-ranked teams, losing narrowly to Lazio and Fiorentina. Their attack has been slightly more potent than Monza's, averaging 0.6 goals scored per game over the last five. Empoli also boasts slightly better expected goals statistics, suggesting they are creating more opportunities than their hosts.

Final Prediction

Empoli is tipped to have the upper hand due to their marginally better attacking efficiency and more resilient defense compared to Monza. A key factor to watch will be Empoli's ability to capitalize on Monza's defensive vulnerabilities, which could be pivotal in securing a much-needed victory in their fight against relegation. Both teams will be desperate for points, but Empoli's edge in creating and converting chances might just tilt the balance in their favor.
