Fiorentina are hoping to put one foot in the Round of 16 of the Europa Conference League with a win over Istanbul Basaksehir this evening.
The match between the Viola and the Turkish side kicks off at 17.45 UK time at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence.
Fiorentina sit second in Group A after four games, having picked up seven points from two wins and a draw. A win would draw them level with group leaders Istanbul Basaksehir and guarantee their place in the knock-out stages of the competition, as third place Hearts only have three points and so a win over RFS wouldn’t be enough to put the Scottish outfit in contention.
Vincenzo Italiano will have to do without the injured Gaetano Castrovilli, Nicolás González and Riccardo Sottil, reducing his attacking options a little.
Istanbul Basaksehir cannot count on Ahmed Touba and Mesut Ozil, both of whom are out injured. Philippe Keny is also unavailable as he’s unregistered in the competition.
Probable line-ups for Fiorentina vs Istanbul Basaksehir
Fiorentina (4-3-3): Gollini; Terzic, Milenkovic, Quarta, Biraghi; Barak, Amrabat, Duncan; Ikoné, Jovic, Kouamé.
Istanbul Basaksehir (4-3-3): Sengezer; Junior, Ndayishimiye, Duarte, Kaldirim; Aleksic, Biglia, Ozcan; Turuc, Okaka, Gurler.
