Fiorentina will be dreaming of their first Coppa Italia final in almost a decade but first need to finish the job in the second leg of their semi-final clash with Cremonese.

The match between the Viola and the Grigiorossi kicks off at 20:00 UK time at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence.

Fiorentina have had a difficult domestic season under Vincenzo Italiano, struggling to find their rhythm in Serie A, but have looked far more confident in cup competitions, qualifying for the semi-finals of both the Europa Conference League and the Coppa Italia.

The Viola cannot count on Salvatore Sirigu and Giacomo Bonaventura, both of whom are sidelined with injuries.

Things have not been easy for Cremonese following their promotion to Serie A and the team are currently on track to drop back down to the second tier, sitting 19th in the league table. The Lombardy outfit have shined in the Coppa Italia, however, picking up upset wins over Napoli and Roma.

The Grigiorossi are without the injured Frank Tsadjout and Vlad Chiriches.

In the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Fiorentina cruised to a 2-0 win over Cremonese, with goals from Arthur Cabral and Nicolas Gonzalez.
