Monza vs Empoli Prediction and Betting Tips | May 18th 2025

Monza will host Empoli at the U-Power Stadium on Sunday in the penultimate round of the 2024-25 Serie A campaign. The hosts will be hoping to follow up last weekend’s result with another consolation win to give their fans something to cheer about.

Monza ended their abysmal 15-game winless run with a smash and grab 2-1 win over Udinese on Sunday marking only their third win of the entire league season. The Biancorossi were relegated a while ago having had one of the worst campaigns in recent Serie A history but will remain optimistic to get another result and end the season on a positive note.

Empoli have also been poor all season with their 2-1 win over 10-man Parma last time out marking their first win in 21 league games, going back to last year December. The visitors are just a place above Sunday's hosts but are only one point into the drop zone and could escape relegation should they win both their final games and results elsewhere go their way.
