Fiorentina vs Monza: A Match Preview for the Eagerly Anticipated Italian Serie A Clash

A Closer Look at the Teams

Fiorentina, who finished 7th in last season's Serie A, will be looking to make a strong start to this campaign as they aim for a top-six finish and a place in European competition.

Monza, meanwhile, are making their return to the Italian top flight for the first time in over 100 years. After winning the Serie B title last season, they will be looking to establish themselves in Serie A and avoid an immediate return to the second tier.

Key Players to Watch

For Fiorentina, all eyes will be on striker Dusan Vlahovic, who scored 21 goals in Serie A last season and has been linked with a move to some of Europe's biggest clubs.

Monza, meanwhile, will be relying on the experience of former Italy international Kevin-Prince Boateng to guide them through their first season back in Serie A.

Head-to-Head Record

The two teams have met just once before, in a friendly match in 2019 which Fiorentina won 2-0.
