&lt;p&gt;Two points for Fiorentina, one for Monza: both will be on the hunt for the first wins of their campaign in a very particular game at the Franchi.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After being in charge of Monza for two years, Raffaele Palladino will now face his former side on matchday 3: both he and his successor, Alessandro Nesta, need to pick up points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina drew both of their first two matches in Serie A this term, last drawing three games in a row in the period between February-June 2020 (v Milan, Udinese and Brescia). They last failed to score for two Serie A matches in a row between period October-November 2023 (3 - v Empoli, Lazio and Juventus).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Monza haven’t won any of their last 11 league matches (D4 L7), with their last win in Serie A coming on 16 March 2024, against Cagliari (1-0). Indeed, this is the longest current winless run of any side involved in Serie A this term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will be the encounter between one of the two teams to have attempted the most shots on target in Serie A this season (Fiorentina 15 shots, equal to Atalanta) and the one with the fewest (Monza, only 3).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina and Monza have faced each other six times between Serie A and Serie B, with the Brianza team only winning once (3-2, at U-Power stadium in the top-flight, on 23th April 2023); meanwhile, Fiorentina have won three games (including both league matches of last season) and drawn the other two.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina are unbeaten in all three of their home matches (W2 1D) against Monza between Serie A and Serie B, with an overall score of 6-2 – the Viola won the most recent one on last May (2-1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Moise Kean has played two games against Monza in Serie A, for a total of 84 minutes, without finding the net. The Fiorentina striker has scored against 25 different teams in the big five European leagues, with only Loïs Openda (26), Jadon Sancho (27) and Erling Haaland (41) doing so against more among players born in 2000 or later.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks to the goal scored on MD1 against Parma, Cristiano Biraghi has been directly involved in 49 goals in Serie A (courtesy of 15 goals and 34 assists). He could become only the second defender to reach the milestone of 50 goal involvements since the season he made his debut in the top-flight (2013-14 with Catania), after Alessandro Florenzi (54).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina are the team Gianluca Caprari has scored the most goals against in the top-flight (5).
