The Viola are top of the Serie A table for the first time in 16 years after a 4-1 thrashing of Inter at the weekend, but in Europe they sit rock bottom following a shock home defeat to Basel.

That makes this visit to Paulo Sousa’s homeland a must-win game, but group phase debutants Belenenses are tough to beat.

So far this season they are unbeaten in the Europa League, conceding only one goal in two wins and three draws, while three of their last four outings have been 0-0.

Gonzalo Rodriguez is suspended following his red card against Basel, but Sousa uses a very attack-minded system which appears to include four strikers from the start.

Belenenses: Ventura; Geraldes, Tonel, Brandao, Filipe Ferreira; Ruben Pinto; Fabio Sturgeon, Martins, Andre Sousa, Kuca; Leal

Belenenses bench: Ribeiro, Joao Amorim, Goncalo Silva, Ricardo Dias, Tiago Cairo, Dalcio Gomez, Fabio Nunes

Fiorentina: Sepe; Tomovic, Astori, Alonso; Vecino, Suarez, Mati Fernandez; Bernardeschi, Rossi, Babacar, Rebic

Fiorentina bench: Tatarusanu, Badelj, Blaszczykowski, Borja Valero, Verdu, Kalinic, Ilicic
