¿Cómo llegan ambos equipos?
AC Monza sit bottom of the table with just 18 points from 36 games. Their home form has been particularly poor—only one victory, five draws and twelve defeats—putting extra pressure on coach Alessandro Nesta’s side to deliver a result in front of their own fans.
Empoli’s situation is marginally better in 18th place with 28 points. They have shown resilience on the road with three wins, six draws and nine losses away from home. Under Roberto D’Aversa, Empoli recently claimed a 2-1 win over Parma, boosting confidence ahead of this crucial trip.
Nuestras previsiones
Given Monza’s alarming home record and Empoli’s relatively stronger away performances, we back the visitors to edge a narrow victory. History suggests a tight matchup—two wins apiece and a draw in the last five meetings—so expect another closely contested affair.
Defensive caution should prevail, so our tip is for Empoli to win 1-0 with both teams not to score. This outcome reflects Monza’s struggles in front of goal and Empoli’s capacity to strike on the counter.
