Fiorentina vs Monza: Lineups and how to watch

Late news

Fiorentina’s Vincenzo Montella has chosen Luca Ranieri to deputize for the suspended Germán Pezzella in central defense, while Aleksa Terzić get the nod over Cristiano Biraghi, which will certainly set tongues to wagging. The rest of the XI is as expected. Monza boss Cristian Brocchi, on the other hand, sends out the exact same lineup that beat Benevento last week. Despite the miserably hot and muggy conditions, 20,000 Viola fans are expected to attend, so the atmosphere should be superb.

Lineups

Fiorentina (4-3-3): Drągowski; Lirola, Milenković, Ranieri, Terzić; Pulgar, Badelj, Benassi; Chiesa, Boateng, Sottil

Monza (4-3-1-2): Lamanna; Lepore, Bellusci, Scaglia, Sampirisi; Iocolano, Rigoni, Armellino; Chiricò; Finotto, Brighenti
