Monza vs Empoli: Serie A Prediction (19.05.2025)

On 19 May 2025, at 1:45 WIB, Monza will face Empoli at the U-Power Stadium in a clash between two Serie A strugglers in Matchday 37. While Monza have already been relegated, Empoli are still fighting for survival, which adds tension and significance to this late-season fixture.

🔴 Monza

Known as the Brianzoli, Monza are officially relegated from Serie A, sitting at the bottom of the table with no chance of survival. Despite this, they surprised everyone in the previous round by defeating Udinese 2–1, ending a 15-match winless streak (2 draws, 13 losses). That victory was their first since January.

The club’s major weakness has been their defense, having conceded 64 goals in 36 matches – the worst defensive record in the league.

🔵 Empoli

Empoli, also called the Blues, have been in an even longer crisis. They went 23 games without a win, with the only bright spot being a penalty shootout victory over Juventus in the Coppa Italia. Before their most recent match, their last league win came on 8 December 2024.

However, Empoli finally broke the streak by beating Parma 2–1 in the previous round. That win revived their hopes of staying in the top flight. They are currently 19th, but just one point behind the 17th spot, which guarantees survival.
