Monza vs Fiorentina Prediction: Can the Violets cope with a tough schedule and pick up three points?

Fiorentina reached the Conference League semi-finals on Thursday and will now face Monza on the road. Can the Violets cope with a tough schedule and pick up three points? It should be noted that the Florentines have won their previous seven away matches in all competitions.

The Bianconeri had another quality game in the previous fixture. They took advantage of Inter's problems to win 1:0, with center-back Luca Caldirola scoring the game's only goal midway through the second half. Thus, Monza sits in the middle of the Serie A table, where they are in 13th place. Furthermore, it should be noted that in their last six matches, the Bianconeri have only one defeat (at home to Lazio), three draws and two wins. Monza has had an excellent season and is not even close to relegation at the end of the season.

Fiorentina created unexpected problems for themselves in Thursday's Conference League quarter-final clash against Poland's Lech. After a 4:1 home win, Fiorentina conceded three unanswered goals in the 69th minute and was close to leaving the tournament. Only a third conceded goal forced Vincenzo Italiano's side to step up, and before the end of the game, they had scored twice - Riccardo Sottile and Gaetano Castrovili. With difficulty, however, Fiorentina still advanced to the semi-finals of the European Cup tournament, where they will play Switzerland's Basel.

The European competition has left the Fiorentina side a little disappointed in the Italian league. They have played two draws in a row - on home soil, 1:1 against La Spezia and 1:1 against Atalanta. However, the Fiorentina side has recently prioritized their La Liga games.

It is no coincidence that Fiorentina is among the bottom teams in this league for away games. In their meeting with Monza, the Florentines can also look forward to scoring points. The Bianconeri are capable, as they did against Inter last season, of playing well against big teams, but they are often in trouble against mid-table opponents, such as Fiorentina. We're betting on the Violets here and not the highest-scoring matchup.
