Empoli put an end to a series of 20 winless matches, after defeating Parma 2-1 and keeping their survival chances alive. They are one point away from salvation, and a victory against the last-placed team could be decisive. Despite the long negative streak, the team has managed to score in their last few matches, showing an improvement in attack at a crucial moment.
Monza also showed signs of life at the endAlthough at the bottom, Monza also secured a victory - 2-1 against Udinese, ending a series of 15 winless matches. However, they still have the weakest defense in Serie A, conceding 64 goals in 36 matches. And when you are vulnerable in defense, even playing at home doesn't give you an advantage - Monza have only one home victory this season.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goalsBoth teams are weak in defense and will be seeking a victory - Empoli to save themselves, and Monza for pride. This sets the stage for a more open match with goals scored in both directions.
