On Wednesday night, Fiorentina and Monza return to Serie A action after the World Cup as both look to make a winning start to 2023.
The Viola’s form in the Italian top flight was decent before the international break. However, a 2-1 defeat in their last league outing at Milan ended a three-game winning run in the Italian top flight for the team from Florence.
The game at the reigning champions also ended a prolific scoring run for Fiorentina, as they had scored at least two goals in their previous four league outings. Their efforts in front of goal mean that there have been over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five league matches.
Fiorentina’s recent home form in Serie A has been inconsistent, as they have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five league matches on home soil.
Similar to their league games in general, the Viola’s recent home matches have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five league games on home soil.
The visitors will kick off this game just three points behind their 11th-place hosts in the Serie A table. Their recent league form has been mixed, as Monza have won two and lost four of their previous six matches. Last time out, Raffaele Palladino’s team recorded a 3-0 home win over Salernitana.
Monza have a poor away record in the Italian top flight, suffering five defeats in their seven home games while recording just one victory in the process.
The visitors need to score more goals on their travels, as they have scored just once in three away matches.
