Fiorentina and Rapid Wien will face off in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Conference League Play-offs.
Rapid Vienna possesses the capability to score against the Fiorentina team. However, this might not entirely prevent them from conceding a couple of goals at the other end.
Fiorentina will enter this fixture following a 2-2 draw in Serie A against Lecce.
Fiorentina’s recent matches have rarely seen them maintain a clean sheet. Their defense has been breached in all of their previous 6 matches, resulting in a total of 8 goals conceded. However, this trend might not necessarily continue in the upcoming game.
Unfortunately, Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano won’t have Pierozzi, Ikoné, Sabiri, and Castrovilli available due to their unavailability.
Last 5 Games: Won: 2, Draw: 2, Lost: 1, Scored: 14, Conceded: 6, Clean Sheets: 0.
In their recent Bundesliga match, Rapid Vienna played to a 1-1 draw against WSG Swarovski Tirol.
Rapid Vienna’s defensive players have put on a string of impressive performances, resulting in a total of only 2 goals conceded in their last 6 matches combined. Meanwhile, their attacking line has been successful in finding the net 12 times during the same period.
Regrettably, Rapid Vienna manager Zoran Barišić won’t have the luxury of a complete squad to choose from, as Pejic, Grgic, and Cvetkovic will not be available for this match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 3, Draw: 1, Lost: 1, Scored: 12, Conceded: 2, Clean Sheets: 3.
The match will be played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
