Fiorentina booked their ticket to Athens for the Europa League final and will now return to Serie A when they take on mid-table Monza at the Stadio Franchi.

Fiorentina faces Monza in a crucial Serie A clash aiming to break into the top-eight. Currently ninth with 50 points, Fiorentina has a chance to leapfrog Napoli after their weekend loss, now just one point behind eighth place. With two games in hand, a win against Monza could secure European qualification for them. Additionally, despite upcoming commitments in the Conference League final against Olympiacos, a victory there would automatically grant them a spot in next season's Europa League. Recent form at the Stadio Artemio Franchi has been impressive, with four wins and a draw in their last five matches, despite a recent draw against Club Brugge and a league loss to Verona.

Monza are two points outside the top ten, which remains their only realistic target left for the season. The lack of perspective is telling because the visitors have drawn 2-2 with Lazio in their last outing. That made it a sixth game in a row without a win, including three draws and losses. A top-half finish is well within reach, but Monza wouldn’t want to drag it till the final matchday, where they face Juventus. Keeping their chances of a top-half finish alive till then will require the visitors to improve on their recent away record. Monza have drawn two and lost one of their last three league games on the road.

Prediction:  Fiorentina 1-0 Monza
