Team News

Empoli
Monza
  • Davide Nicola will start his first game in charge of Empoli with a 4-3-1-2 formation.
  • Pablo Marí should be back in defence, which will allow Roberto Gagliardini to play in his more familiar defensive midfield role.

Prediction

  • Empoli's defeat in Verona last week lead to the sacking of Aurelio Andreazzoli as the Azzurri only managed to win 3 out of 16 league games with him in charge.
  • Monza, who sit in 11th place, will try to immediately give a positive reaction on the pitch following their 5-1 defeat against Inter last Saturday.
  • Davide Nicola has been tasked to keep Empoli up this season, but the team needs a couple of signings to improve their attack as they've only managed 11 goals so far this season.
