The textual chronicle
After the resounding victory against Inter, the hosts, currently in 13th place in the standings, aim to beat Fiorentina in the match scheduled today at the U-Power Stadium. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw. On the absences front, the coach Palladino will have to give up the injured Sensi. Recovered Filippo Ranocchia, absent in the last round. I work with the team for Mirko Maric, now fully reintegrated into the group after being included in the list in place of Luca Marrone, at the beginning of April. In view of the match with Fiorentina, the coach should not upset the eleven on the field too much. In short, on paper a Monza in good health what is preparing to face Fiorentina.
Fiorentina arrives away strong of the hard-earned victory in Conference and qualification for the semifinals, as well as the two draws in the last games in Serie A, currently in 9th place and out of the game for next year's European competitions. Certainly a bit tired and perhaps worried about the absences: Amrabat, struggling with low back pain, and Brekalo who has to deal with a head trauma at risk of employment. Season over, however, for Sirigu due to his Achilles tendon injury.
''Fiorentina wants to confirm itself as a protagonist also in the championship'', these are the words of Vincenzo Italiano on the eve of the trip against Monza, the third game in six days for his team, after Monday's 1-1 draw with Atalanta and the 3-2 defeat in the Conference League with Lech Poznan, which still gave the viola access to the semi-finals.
Probable Fiorentina line-up (4-3-3): Terracciano, Dodò, Milenkovic, Quarta, Terzic, Castrovilli, Mandragora, Ikonè, Barak, Nico Gonzalez, Cabral. All. Italian.
Probable Monza line-up (4-3-3): Di Gregorio, Izzo, Pablo Marì, Caldirola, Ciurria, Pessina, Rovella, Carlos Augusto, Colpani, Caprari, Mota Carvalho. All. Palladino.
