Ferencvaros have recorded two wins and three draws from their five group games so far. Their last continental outing against Cukaricki ended in a 2-1 success thanks to late goals from Kristoffer Zachariassen and Aleksander Pesic. Meanwhile when it comes of the Hungarian top flight, Fradi are occupying second spot in the standings, having pocketed 30 points from 16 league games, four adrift of leaders Paksi FC. FTC are heading into the match on the back of a 3-2 league defeat away to the leaders at the weekend, despite the fact that Marquinhos and Krisztian Lisztes found the back of the net. Meanwhile, Ferenecvaros are winless in their last three home-games, but the Greens have lost only one of their last ten matches at Groupama Arena, recording six wins in the process.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, have won three and drawn two of their group games so far. Just like FTC, Viola came from behind to secure a thrilling 2-1 win over Genk in their last Conference League outing almost two weeks ago, thanks to Lucas Martinez Quarta and Nicolas Gonzalez. After that, Vincenzo Italiano’s side secured back-to-back wins over Salernitana and Parma in the Serie A and Coppa Italia respectively. However, Viola played out a 1-1 league draw away to AS Roma last time out on Sunday courtesy of Quarta’s 66th-minute equaliser. The result ended their three-game winning run, but the hosts have won six of their last ten outings across all competitions.
Ferencvaros probable starting lineup: Dibusz, Makreckis, Aeneba, Cisse, Civic, Besic, Zachariassen, Fani, Varga, Pesic, Marquinhos
Fiorentina probable starting lineup: Terracciano, Kayode, Martinez, Ranieri, Biraghi, Arthur, Duncan, Ikone, Bonaventura, Gonzalez, Kouassi
