Latest team news for Monza vs Empoli
Monza has a very long list of injuries and absences. Pedro Pereira is suspended, and eight other players are unavailable due to injury, including: Armando Izzo, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Dany Mota, Gianluca Caprari, Luca Caldirola, Matteo Pessina, Roberto Gagliardini and Silvere Ganvoula.
With their top scorer Dany Mota (5 goals) unavailable, Monza will be relying on Keita Baldé – who recently scored the winning goal against Udinese and has already scored 3 goals this season.
On Empoli's side, the personnel situation is more stable, although a number of names are still absent, including Christian Kouamé, Nicolas Haas, Pietro Pellegri, Saba Sazonov, Szymon Zurkowski, and Youssef Maleh.
Sebastiano Esposito – who has scored 8 goals this season (accounting for 27.5% of the team's total) – despite not having scored since January, remains Empoli's biggest attacking hope in this crucial match.

Latest Monza vs Empoli football match prediction
Monza ended a 15-match winless streak in Serie A with a 2-1 victory over Udinese – their first win since January (against Fiorentina), and also the third time in 2025 that they have scored two goals in a match.
A prolonged slump saw Alessandro Nesta's team lose 13 consecutive matches, including a period where they failed to score in 5 out of 6 games. Despite being relegated, Monza still have the potential to influence the relegation battle, and they are aiming for two consecutive wins for the first time since March 2024 (winning against Genoa 3-2 and Cagliari 1-0).
Nevertheless, Monza failed to score in their last two encounters with Empoli – both away from home. However, in Lombardy, they have won their last two home matches against this opponent and hope to repeat that record to deal a blow to the visitors' hopes of avoiding relegation.
Empoli, like Monza, also ended a long winless streak with a 2-1 victory over Parma in the previous round – their first win after 20 consecutive matches without a win (their last win was against Verona in December).
That win was also Empoli's most recent home victory, while they haven't won an away game in 2025. A win in this match would be a huge boost ahead of the final round of fixtures.
Empoli are currently 19th, level on points with Lecce (18th) and just one point behind Venezia. With Lecce playing Torino and Venezia away at Cagliari, Empoli could potentially escape the relegation zone if they secure all three points and their rivals slip up.
However, if they don't win, they risk falling behind in the crucial race. Empoli haven't had a two-game winning streak in Serie A since May 2023.
