Monza-Fiorentina is a match valid for the 20th day of Serie A and is played on Monday at 20:45: likely lineups, prediction, live TV and streaming.
A week ago a cynical and ruthless Napoli took advantage of every slightest mistake of Fiorentina, defeated for the second consecutive time in front of their own public. If a few days before Christmas it had been Udinese to violate – for the first time in the season – the “Franchi,” last Saturday the facility of the violets became a land of conquest by Antonio Conte’s Azzurri, who inflicted on Raffaele Palladino’s team the widest knockout since the championship began (0-3).
La Fiorentina, we said, paid dearly for those two-three mistakes made during the match, despite having tried several times to hurt Napoli, failing to do so. Therefore, the Viola’s fasting of victories continues: the last success dates back to a month ago now and since the 1-0 win against Cagliari, the lily-livered team has barely scored a point (draw with Juventus at the Stadium), losing to Bologna, Udinese and Napoli.
Bove’s absence is being felt and it is no coincidence that, without the former Roma player, Fiorentina has lost balance (no less than 2 goals per game conceded in the last three days). Palladino is back to experimenting with the aim of finding the square but will also need a hand from the market: the first purchase in the winter session, meanwhile, is midfielder Folorunsho, who arrived from Napoli. In any case, to stay on top (it is currently sixth) the Viola must compulsorily return to winning ways, and the challenge with last-place Monza seems to be the right one to turn the page. Palladino’s former team is unable to pick itself up, even after the change in technical leadership. With Salvatore Bocchetti, the negative streak has lengthened and two heavy defeats have come against Parma and Cagliari (2-1 and 1-2), two direct competitors for salvation.
Monza-Fiorentina: the latest news on formations
The list of unavailable players is quite thick at home Monza: Kyriakopoulos, Gagliardini, Pessina and second goalkeeper Cragno are out. Also absent is the disqualified D’Ambrosio: in defense Caldirola should be preferred to Pablo Marì, coincidentally one of Fiorentina’s targets this winter market. Maldini will most likely start from the bench.
Dubbio Gudmundsson for Palladino: the Icelander got injured again and trained separately at the beginning of the week. Certain his presence on the bench, but Beltran should start from 1′. At the back there is a return to a four-man defense with Dodò and Gosens on either side of Ranieri and Comuzzo, in the middle space for the returning Cataldi and Adli.
UPDATE: Cataldi not summoned, newcomer Folorunsho available immediately instead.

The prediction
As happened in the first leg match, played last September, Monza will face a Viola in difficulty: the match at the “Franchi” ended 2-2, with the Brianzoli squandering a double lead, reeled in by a goal from Gosens in mid-recovery. Fiorentina remains favored but may not be able to keep their goal inviolate even against Bocchetti’s team, which is likely to create quite a few headaches for the Gigliati.
The probable formations of Monza-Fiorentina
MONZA (3-4-2-1): Turati; Izzo, Caldirola, Carboni; Birindelli, Bondo, Sensi, Pereira; Caprari, Ciurria; Djuric.
