Fiorentina vs Lech Poznan Match Analysis & Prediction
20/04/2023 7:45 pm
Fiorentina welcome Lech Poznan to Stadio Artemio Franchi in the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final on Thursday night looking to progress into the last four.
The Italian side claimed a 4-1 victory in Poland last week, putting them on the brink of progressing closer to repeating the feat of fellow Serie A outfit Roma last season.
On Monday night, Fiorentina managed to extend their unbeaten run in Serie A to eight matches as they played out a 1-1 draw with Atalanta at home.
As well as being 2-0 ahead of Cremonese in their Coppa Italia semi-final, Vincenzo Italiano’s side hold a commanding advantage in this tie, scoring two times either side of half time to secure a 4-1 victory in Poland last Thursday.
That represented the third away European game in succession where Fiorentina have scored four goal, while their winning streak in this competition now stands at nine matches.
Meanwhile, Lech Poznan will feel like they have over-achieved to reach the last eight, coming through three qualifying rounds to go deep in this competition.
They have already played as many as 17 matches, yet John van den Brom’s side have only prevailed on five occasions in 11 attempts since the start of the group stage.
To their credit, Lech Poznan’s only defeats have been to Villarreal and Fiorentina, but the Railwaymen look destined to focus on domestic matter for the remainder of the season.
On that front, they occupy third place in the table, nine points behind second, and it is arguably more important that they fend off their rivals in the race for bronze rather than negotiating more matches in this tournament.

Having missed out against Atalanta due to injury, Sofyan Amrabat may sit out this contest or only be named among the Fiorentina replacements.
Luca Ranieri, Giacomo Bonaventura and Josip Brekalo could all return to Italiano’s starting XI after dropping to the substitutes’ bench earlier in the week.

Van den Brom is unlikely to overly tinker with his Lech Poznan lineup, despite their defeat in the first leg.
Afonso Sousa could return in a creative role, but veteran Scottish left-back Barry Douglas is expected to stay on the bench.
