Conference League: Rakow vs. Fiorentina – Preview, Probable Line-ups & TV Details

The match is scheduled for 18:45 CET (17:45 GMT). Fiorentina, also known as the Viola, holds a 2-1 advantage from the first leg held in Florence.
The Florentine squad has traveled to Poland missing several players due to injury, including Manor Solomon, Tariq Lamptey, Luca Lezzerini, and Niccolò Fortini. Additionally, Marco Brescianini and Daniele Rugani are ineligible as they are not registered in Fiorentina's UEFA squad.
