Conference League semi final line-ups: Fiorentina vs. Real Betis | OneFootball

Moise Kean and Dodo return to the starting XI for Fiorentina in the Conference League semi-final with Antony’s Real Betis, needing to overturn a 2-1 deficit.

It kicks off at the Stadio Artemio Franchi at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT, 21.00 CET).

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

The first leg was a 2-1 Spanish victory in Seville, so it means any Viola victory by one clear goal would force extra time and possibly even penalties.

Regardless, Fiorentina showed their faith in coach Raffaele Palladino by extending his contract this week.

There are some changes, most notably Kean is in the starting XI and Dodo also returns after a couple of weeks out due to appendicitis.

Albert Gudmundsson completes the attack and Yacine Adli steps in for the injured Danilo Cataldi.

Marc Roca and former Roma defender Diego Llorente are still out of action for Real Betis, who impressed at the weekend in LaLiga with a comeback victory over Espanyol.

That result keeps them in contention for Champions League qualification next season.

Veteran coach Manuel Pellegrini can count on ex-Napoli defender Natan and former Milan full-back Ricardo Rodriguez.

The danger is in attack, with Antony on loan from Manchester United, Isco and Giovani Lo Celso supporting Cedric Bakambu.

Whoever gets to the Final will likely face Chelsea, having beaten Djurgarden 4-1 away in the first leg.
