Fiorentina vs Monaco Picks, Odds, and Predictions

Fiorentina moved its training back home for this friendly match against Monaco.

Fiorentina to Win

The Firenze team is perfect thus far in friendly matches with five wins out of five games, and it is obvious that these matches mean something to the team coached by Vincenzo Italiano.

Under 2.5 Goals

Even though Fiorentina did score some goals in most of their friendly games, they had the low-scoring match against the best side out of all five they played, Borussia Dortmund. It was 2-0. Games against good teams are differently contemplated than the rest.

Both Teams to Score – No

Fiorentina didn’t allow a goal in three out of five friendly games, it seems that their defense is functioning perfectly at this point of the preparation period.

Fiorentina vs Monaco Preview: Keeping the winning streak alive

Fiorentina

It’s quite fascinating to see the way Fiorentina is winning these friendly matches. Yes, these games don’t have a competitive meaning, but the Italian side manages to play with flare, purpose, and efficiency. There were some wild wins in this five-match streak, especially against the Bolivian side Always Ready, the Firenze outfit won 9-0. It was an incredible scoreline, even for this type of match. The efficiency especially is something to admire. Fiorentina is not the most prolific goalscoring team in Serie A this season, their best scorers have only three goals apiece on the record, and those are Giacomo Bonaventura and Luka Jovic. The first one isn’t even a forward, but a midfielder. The Serie A team won all these games even though they are missing players for different reasons. Some of them are on a break following the World Cup, while others are injured. Pierluigi Gollini, Cristiano Biraghi, Lorenzo Venuti, Gaetano Castrovilli, Nicolas Gonzalez, and Christian Kouame are all out through various problems.

Monaco

The Monte Carlo team is trying to keep up with the top sides in Ligue 1, but so far they are outside the top six positions which would take them to some form of European competition. Of course, there is still time to improve, and they are not that far behind, even from a Champions League spot. Monaco has been doing fine goalscoring-wise, they have 29 goals this season in 15 matches which is the third-best mark in the league behind PSG and Rennes, but the crucial points they lost were mostly because of defensive errors late in games. These are the issues that coach Philippe Clement needs to fix during this short training period before the season restarts at the end of the month. Monaco is also missing some players due to World Cup, but thus far only forward Myron Boadu is out with an injury.
