Fiorentina need Nico Gonzalez and Andrea Belotti to end their goal droughts in the Conference League quarter-final with unbeaten Viktoria Plzen.

It kicks off at the Stadio Franchi at 17.45 UK time (16.45 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, RomaMilan and Atalanta-Liverpool on the LIVEBLOG.

The first leg ended goalless in Plzen, so it is all to play for here, but the Viola need a boost after winning only four competitive games in 2024 (plus a Coppa Italia penalty shoot-out against Bologna), drawing seven and losing seven.

It is a battle between a Fiorentina side who struggle to score goals and a Viktoria Plzen team with seven consecutive Conference League clean sheets.

Nico Gonzalez was rested on Monday in the 1-1 draw with Genoa, but he returns here with Lucas Beltran and Christian Kouame supporting Andrea Belotti.

Jack Bonaventura also made his comeback from a knock, having missed the first leg, but is here not even on the bench due to an ankle injury.

Jan Kopic and Sampson Dweh return from suspension, but Rafiu Durosinmi, Matej Valenta, Erik Jirka and Jan Sykora are injured, while Jhon Mosquera is back on the bench after a head injury.

Both teams are undefeated in the Conference League proper this season.
