Latest Monza vs Empoli team information

Monza have a long list of injuries and absences. Pedro Pereira is suspended, while eight other players are out through injury, including: Armando Izzo, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Dany Mota, Gianluca Caprari, Luca Caldirola, Matteo Pessina, Roberto Gagliardini and Silvere Ganvoula.

With top scorer Dany Mota (5 goals) unable to play, Monza will rely on Keita Baldé – who just scored the decisive goal against Udinese and has 3 goals this season.

On Empoli's side, the personnel situation is more stable, although a series of names such as Christian Kouamé, Nicolas Haas, Pietro Pellegri, Saba Sazonov, Szymon Zurkowski and Youssef Maleh are still absent.

Sebastiano Esposito – who has scored eight goals this season (27.5% of the team's total) – despite not scoring since January, remains Empoli's biggest hope in attack in this crucial match.

Latest Monza vs Empoli football prediction

Monza ended a 15-game winless streak in Serie A with a 2-1 win over Udinese – their first win since January (against Fiorentina), and only the third time in 2025 that they have scored two goals in a game.

A long slump has seen Alessandro Nesta’s side lose 13 games in a row, including a run of five goals in six. Despite being relegated, Monza can still have an impact on the relegation battle, and they are aiming for back-to-back wins for the first time since March 2024 (3-2 win over Genoa, then 1-0 win over Cagliari).

However, Monza have failed to score in their last two meetings with Empoli – both away from home. However, they have won their last two home games in Lombardy and will be hoping to repeat that feat to deal a blow to the visitors’ hopes of staying up.

Empoli, like Monza, also ended a long winless streak with a 2-1 win over Parma last round – their first win after 20 consecutive rounds without knowing the taste of 3 points (the last time was against Verona in December).

That win was also Empoli's last home win, while away from home they have not won a game in 2025. A win here would be a huge boost ahead of the final round.

Empoli are currently 19th, level on points with Lecce (18th) and just 1 point behind Venezia. With Lecce playing Torino and Venezia having to play away at Cagliari, Empoli can completely escape the relegation zone if they take all 3 points and their opponents stumble.

However, if they fail to win, they risk falling behind in the race to the bottom. Empoli have not had a streak of two consecutive wins in Serie A since May 2023.
