Fiorentina will host Ferencvaros at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Thursday in another round of the 2023-24 UEFA Europa Conference League campaign.
The home side opened their Europa Conference League campaign with a 2-2 draw against Gent last month. The Serie A outfit took the lead twice in the game via goals from Luca Ranieri but failed to hang on to their advantage on both occasions and were perhaps fortunate not to have lost the game in additional time.
Fiorentina sit second in their group with one point picked so far. They are two points above their midweek opponents at the top of the pile and will leapfrog them with maximum points on Thursday.
Ferencvaros are enjoying a brilliant run of results at the moment and will hope they can continue that streak on the continental stage this week. They picked up a 3-1 comeback win over Serbian outfit Cukaricki in their group opener, with three different players getting on the scoresheet for the Greens to overturn a one-goal deficit.
The visitors thrashed MTK Budapest 6-1 in their last match and will be looking to continue their strong run of form this week.
