Fiorentina Form and Lineup
Fiorentina's Europa Conference League campaign has been very inconsistent, with victories alternating with defeats. The attack is the main weapon of the side. Over 11 matches in Europe they have scored 17 times (the fifth-best tally in the Europa Conference League). In all competitions the team coached by Vanoli have scored in seven of their last eight games, with only the meeting with Crystal Palace an exception. At the same time, the defence can hardly be called reliable: in seven recent matches they have conceded in five. Even the latest Serie A round against Lazio (1:0) was far from straightforward — 1.34 xGA and six saves from De Gea (man of the match).
Fiorentina have won the second half in five of their last seven matches.
The team coached by Vanoli have collected 29 yellow cards in the Europa Conference League (the worst figure in the competition).
The team have created 34 big chances in 11 European matches (only AEK Athens and Crystal Palace have more).
Potential Fiorentina Lineup (4-3-3): De Gea — Gosens, Ranieri, Pongracic, Kouadio — Ndour, Fagioli, Fabbian — Gudmundsson, Piccoli, Harrison.
Unavailable: Lamptey (injury), Kean, Fortini, Parisi (doubtful), Dodo (suspension).
Crystal Palace Form and Lineup
Crystal Palace are at their peak. The team have suffered only one defeat in their last 10 matches, and in the Europa Conference League they are unbeaten in seven games in a row. The attack is working at full capacity, with 19 goals scored (the best tally in the Europa Conference League). However, away from home things are far less rosy for the side coached by Glasner — only two wins in their last 11 matches in all competitions, and in 10 of those games the visitors have conceded.
Crystal Palace have created 53 big chances in the Europa Conference League (best figure in the competition).
The side coached by Glasner have been unlucky, with 12 shots hitting the woodwork and 40 big chances missed (most in the competition).
The team take more shots on opponents' goal than anyone else — 17.2 on average per game (the same as AEK Athens).
Potential Crystal Palace Lineup (3-4-3): Henderson — Canvot, Lacroix, Richards — Mitchell, Kamada, Wharton, Munoz — Pino, Mateta, Sarr.
Unavailable: Doucoure, Gessan, Kpora and Nketiah (injury).
