Late news
Fiorentina manager has tossed deadline signings Robin Gosens and Danilo Cataldi straight into the fray, banking on their experience to overcome any unfamiliarity with their new teammates and system. Tactically, the greatest interest comes from Lucas Beltrán and Moise Kean playing together for the first time. Whether this means that el Vikingo is off striker duty (which would require Christian Kouamé to fill in as the backup center forward) or if it’s just a one-time thing, it should be quite interesting to watch.
Monza boss Alessandro Nesta, on the other hand, hasn’t sprung any major surprises. Expect plenty of hugs and chats for Palladino with the current Brianzoli, as many of them will recall him with fondness.
Lineups
Fiorentina (3-4-2-1): Terracciano; Biraghi, Ranieri, Comuzzo; Gosens, Mandragora, Cataldi, Dodô; Beltrán, Colpani; Kean
Monza (3-4-2-1): Turati; Carboni, Marí, Izzo; Kyriakopoulos, Bondo, Pessina, Pereira; Maldini, Caprari; Ðurić
