Serie A 2024-2025: Fiorentina-Monza, the likely lineups
Fiorentina-Monza, the probable formations
Fiorentina and Monza will face each other Sunday at the Franchi, with kickoff at 6:30 p.m., with a common goal of bringing home their first success of the season. The Viola are fresh from their painful qualification to the Conference League main stage against Puskas Akademia, while Monza last played last Saturday, losing 1-0 at home to Genoa.
For Raffaele Palladino è an important match, since the Neapolitan coach faces for the first time as an opponent the club that launched him on the Serie A stage: confirmed in attack is the presence of Moise Kean, who scored both in the first leg and in the return match against the Hungarians and is back among Luciano Spalletti’s squad for the Nations League. In defense, a three-man lineup with Martinez Quarta, Pongracic and Ranieri, looking for redemption after the mess in the Conference League that jeopardized the lily-headed team’s qualification.
As for Monza, Alessandro Nesta is banking on a specular module compared to that of his purple counterpart: offensive pivot will be, in all likelihood, Milan Djuric, supported by Daniel Maldini and Dany Mota Carvalho. To them are entrusted the hopes of scoring the first official goals of the red and white championship.
Fiorentina-Monza, probable lineups:
FIORENTINA (3-4-2-1): Terracciano; Martinez Quarta, Pongracic, Ranieri; Dodò, Mandragora, Richardson, Parisi; Colpani, Sottil; Kean. All. Palladino;
MONZA (3-4-2-1): Turati; Izzo, Pablo Marí, Caldirola; Birindelli, Bondo, Pessina, Kyriakopoulous; Maldini, Dany Mota Carvalho; Djuric. All. Nesta.
