Match description
I forecast a Monza win (1). Monza win 78% of home matches, average 1.78 goals scored and only 0.56 conceded per game, and have 59 goals for this season versus Empoli’s 45. Empoli have just a 22% win rate away and 67% losses, averaging 0.94 goals scored, 1.72 conceded and failing to score in 39% of away fixtures, which significantly limits their attacking output. Monza generate more high-quality chances — 15 average shots and 5.06 shots on target at home with average xG 1.66 (xG against 1.14), while Empoli away register 9.89 shots, 3.17 on target and xG 1.13 (xG against 1.72). In the last 5 matches Monza scored 9 goals and average 2.0 points per game, Empoli only 2 goals and 0.8 points per game, and Monza also have 50% clean sheets at home versus Empoli’s 17% away; all factors favor Monza, hence a 75% probability for the hosts.
