Conference League 2024-2025: Fiorentina-Pafos, the likely lineups

The probable lineups

If in the league everything is going swimmingly for Fiorentina, so much so that after 13 days the distance from the top è of only one point, the same cannot be said in the Conference League, where the Viola must redeem, against Pafos, the defeat of last November 7 against another Cypriot team, Apoel. It will be played at the 'Franchi' kickoff at 9 p.m. Thursday.

To win and stay in the top eight, thus remaining in the running for one of the positions useful for not facing an extra round in the knockout stage, Raffaele Palladino will most likely bet on the 4-2-3-1, with Kouamé at the center of the attack and Kean to rest on the bench, with the possibility of entering in the game in progress. Ikoné, Beltran and Sottil will be tasked with assisting the sole role forward.

On the other side there's a team in top form, capable of stretching to the top of its league thanks to the success over second-ranked Apoel, and now at -5. In the Conference League, the roster è positive: two wins, against Petrocub and Astana, and one loss, against Heidenheim. The most dangerous man è the striker Jairo, but also watch out for Tankovic, who scored last Saturday in the league.
