Latest football commentary Monza vs Empoli
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, in Lombardy, they have won their last two home games against this opponent and will be hoping to repeat that feat to deal a blow to the visitors’ relegation hopes.
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 big boost ahead of the final round.
Empoli are currently 19th, level on points with Lecce (18th) and just 1 point behind Venezia. With Lecce facing 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.
