In Monday’s Serie A action, Empoli and Lazio are set to clash with Atalanta and Fiorentina, respectively, in two thrilling encounters.
As we delve into these matchups, let’s analyze the possible outcomes and what to expect from these exciting fixtures.
Empoli vs. Atalanta (Monday, 5.30pm)
Empoli, following their remarkable victory in Florence last week, is eager to distance themselves from the Serie A relegation zone as they welcome Atalanta BC to Stadio Carlo Castellani on Monday.
In their previous Monday night fixture, the Azzurri managed to upset Tuscan rivals Fiorentina. Now, they are aiming to replicate that success by taking on La Dea.
- Our Prediction: Empoli 1-2 Atalanta BC
Atalanta has experienced just one loss in their last eight matches, hinting at newfound consistency that was previously elusive.
Their improved defense, combined with a wealth of attacking options, makes Atalanta a formidable force. It’s likely that they will overpower Empoli, thanks to their firepower.
Lazio vs. Fiorentina (Monday, 7.45pm)
Lazio, coming off their fifth loss of the season, is determined to narrow the gap with Fiorentina in the Serie A standings when they meet on Monday.
While the capital club returns to Stadio Olimpico after a disappointing Champions League defeat in Rotterdam, Fiorentina bounced back from a home loss to Empoli by securing a convincing victory in the Europa Conference League.
- Our Prediction: Lazio 2-1 Fiorentina
Home advantage may play a pivotal role in this match, as Lazio typically performs well on their home turf. Fiorentina, on the other hand, struggles away from home.
Given Lazio’s defensive issues, Fiorentina is likely to find the net, but it might not be enough to secure a point.
Monday’s Serie A matches promise thrilling action, with Empoli battling Atalanta and Lazio taking on Fiorentina. Stay tuned for these captivating showdowns that could significantly impact the Serie A standings.
