Fiorentina are looking to complete unfinished business in the Conference League, starting with their opening clash with Genk.

The match between the Belgian side and the Viola kicks off at 17.45 UK time at the Cegeka Arena in Genk.

Fiorentina were only a step away from winning the Conference League last season but fell to West Ham at the final hurdle, leaving Vincenzo Italiano and his players filled with regret and a desire for revenge.

The Florence outfit cannot count on Yerry Mina and Gaetano Castrovilli, both of whom are sidelined with injuries. The team sit eighth in the Serie A table with seven points.

Genk are without the injured Vic Chambaere. Wouter Vrancken’s side currently sit 6th in the Jupiler Pro League, having won three and drawn two of their opening six matches.

The two teams are joined by Ferencvaros and FC Cukaricki in Group F, making this one of the harder games for Italiano’s squad.
