Team Analysis
Fiorentina should have a full squad available on Monday evening, including recent signing Michael Folorunsho, who has just joined on loan from Napoli. Fellow new boy Nicolas Valentini should start on the bench.

Raffaele Palladino could shift back to his successful 4-2-3-1 formation after selecting a three-man defence to face Napoli, with Albert Gudmundsson - now recovered from an ankle problem - and former Monza star Andrea Colpani both being recalled.

Sure to start up front, Moise Kean is the Viola's top scorer across all competitions with 15 goals this term. Meanwhile, Monza's squad have managed just 17 Serie A strikes between them so far, and it remains to be seen whether Milan Djuric will be brought back in to lead the hosts' attack on Monday.

Otherwise, Dany Mota and Gianluca Caprari - the latter of whom has scored five top-flight goals against Fiorentina - would spearhead a misfiring front line, possibly supported by Daniel Maldini.
Georgios Kyriakopoulos could return after missing two games through injury, and Pablo Mari is back from a ban; however, Danilo D'Ambrosio must serve a suspension and midfield duo Matteo Pessina and Roberto Gagliardini are still sidelined.

Odds Analysis
Fiorentina can kickstart their campaign with a win against Serie A's last-placed club, who must be low on confidence. Though the Viola have started to leak goals, they still have enough nous to score more than once, earning them three valuable points in the race for European places.

Pick: Fiorentina
