Atalanta look to Gianluca Scamacca, Charles De Ketelaere and Teun Koopmeiners to overturn the Coppa Italia semi-final against Fiorentina’s Nico Gonzalez and Andrea Belotti.

It kicks off at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the LIVEBLOG.

The first leg ended 1-0 to the Viola back on April 3 thanks to a Rolando Mandragora screamer from a huge distance of over 30 yards.

Both these teams are also in the semi-finals of their UEFA competitions, the Europa League and Conference League respectively.

Whoever wins this tie will go on to face Juventus in the Coppa Italia Final on May 15.

Giorgio Scalvini is still injured, joined by Rafael Toloi and Emil Holm, so the only real choices for coach Gian Piero Gasperini were in attack, where Koopmeiners supports Scamacca and De Ketelaere.

Fiorentina are without M’Bala Nzola due to personal problems, but the rest of the squad is at the disposal of coach Vincenzo Italiano.

That means Nico Gonzalez, Jack Bonaventura and Lucas Beltran supporting Belotti.

These teams were meant to meet in Serie A on March 17, but the game was called off an hour before kick-off when Fiorentina director Joe Barone collapsed at the team hotel.

He was rushed to hospital and died two days later, that fixture is yet to be rescheduled, so this is the first time Fiorentina have returned to Bergamo, but they are now at a different hotel.
