Fiorentina make the long journey to Belarus amid an injury crisis to take on Dinamo Minsk in the Europa League.
It kicks off at 18.00 UK time (17.00 GMT) at the Borisov Arena.
The Viola are decimated by fitness problems this week, missing Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, Giuseppe Rossi, Mario Gomez, Joaquin, Marko Marin, Stefan Savic and Gonzalo Rodriguez.
This leaves precious few options at the disposal of Coach Vincenzo Montella, who uses 20-year-old Federico Bernardeschi and Josip Ilicic in support of Borja Valero as a False 9.
He also adjusts the shape of the team to a 4-3-3.
Dinamo Minsk aren’t in much better shape, fresh from a 6-1 defeat to PAOK in matchday one of this group.
They are also missing Chigozie Udoji, Artem Bykov and Nikita Korzun due to injury, while midfielder Slobodan Simovic is suspended following his red card against PAOK.
The danger man is Igor Stasevich, who scored three goals in the Europa League preliminary rounds, netting 11 and setting up 13 all season.
