Unhappy finalist last season (2-1 defeat against West Ham), the Viola knows the ingredients to reach the end of the competition. Especially since the Florentines are currently dropped in the championship.
For this meeting, Nicky Hayen announced that he had made a strong choice for the goalkeeper position: “The decision has been made but I am keeping it to myself,” he explained at a press conference. Nordin Jackers should start.
Suspended during the return to PAOK, Thiago and Jutgla should be lined up together. Skov Olsen should not start, anyway Skoras is in good form.
On the Fiorentina side, former Anderlecht player Christian Kouamé should start on the left.
