It kicks off at the Stadio Franchi at 20.05 GMT, follow the action from today’s Italian Europa League competitors on the LIVEBLOG.

The Viola are sitting pretty and already beat Slovan 3-1 in Liberec two weeks ago, as Kalinic bagged a brace with Khouma Babacar completing the rout.

Babacar was expected to start, but instead it’s Kalinic and Josip Ilicic in a 4-4-1-1 system with Borja Valero dropping deeper.

The teenage son of Enrico Chiesa, Federico, gets a rare start.

Radim Breite was sent off in that clash and is therefore suspended, a bonus for Fiorentina because he was Slovan’s most dangerous player in the reverse fixture.

Veteran hitman Milan Baros is on the bench.

Fiorentina: Tatarusanu; Tomovic, De Maio, Rodriguez, Milic; Sanchez, Borja Valero, Cristoforo, Chiesa; Ilicic; Kalinic
