Fiorentina vs Rapid Vienna match preview
A mere 85 days ago, Fiorentina were lining-up in Prague for the Europa Conference League Final, eventually beaten 2-1 by West Ham.
Now though, the Italian outfit are staring down the barrel of elimination in this play-off round tie.
Last Thursday, Marco Grüll’s first half penalty was the only goal of the night at Allianz Stadion as Rapid Wien prevailed 1-0.
So now, can the Austrian side complete the upset in Florence?
Rapid Vienna do have serious pedigree in UEFA competition, qualifying for 11 modern-day group stages, including the Europa League in 2018, 2020 and 2021.
12 months ago though, die Grün-Weißen were dumped out in the play-offs by minnows Vaduz, a very ignominious exit, so can they avenge that failure with a shock two-legged victory of their own?
Vincenzo Italiano’s team actually finished eighth in Serie A last season, but were handed a reprieve when Juventus were banned from UEFA competition.
However, unless I Viola can produce a turnaround at Stadio Artemio Franchi, they’ll squander that lifeline and their European adventure will be over before it ever truly began.
