Fiorentina will host Dynamo Kyiv at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in the league phase of the UEFA Conference League on Thursday. Both teams have seen decisive outcomes in their four games in the competition, with two wins for the hosts and Kyiv recording just one.
The Viola have seen a drop in form, and they are winless in their last nine games in all competitions. They suffered a third consecutive defeat last week, losing 3-1 away to Sassuolo in Serie A. Rolando Mandragora gave them the lead in the ninth minute, but Sassuolo were able to overturn the deficit.
The visitors returned to winning ways after four consecutive defeats last week, with a 2-1 win over Kudrivka in the Ukrainian Premier League. Oleksandr Pikhalyonok and Matviy Ponomarenko were on the scoresheet in the first half.

The Viola are winless in all competitions since October, with their last win coming away from home in the Conference League. Notably, they have kept clean sheets in their three home meetings against Kyiv.
Tariq Lamptey remains the only confirmed absentee for the hosts. Robin Gosens and Jacopo Fazzini will undergo late fitness tests.
The Blue & Whites have won just one of their last five games in all competitions, with that triumph coming away from home last week. They have won just two of their 28 meetings in Europe against Italian teams.
Considering the hosts' poor run of form and Kyiv's away record in the competition this season, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.
