⭐ Editorial Prediction
Monza enter the match as the clear favorites, a status that makes sense given the current league standings. Empoli are aware of their opponent's strength and will likely opt for a cautious approach, especially since they are still at risk of slipping into the relegation playoff zone. Additionally, Empoli's recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with no more than two goals scored in each of their last five games. Given this scenario, betting on under 2.5 goals seems like a reasonable prediction.
