Fiorentina - FC Basel 1893: Form Analysis
Fiorentina haven't been at their best in recent matches, winning just once in the last seven, but make no mistake, they have been among the best performing sides in this competition. This is also not the only competition they are vying for in the remainder of the season; they are also in the Coppa Italia final and it is not by mistake that they come into this game as favorites. The Viola are coming from a 1-0 loss to Italian champions Napoli, which left them in eighth place in Serie A but clearly their attention is on the two cup competitions they are in. Fiorentina lost their last outing in this competition, falling 3-2 at home to Lech Poznan, but that was the second leg of a quarter final whose first leg they had won 4-1 away from home. It was also the first loss in 10 Conference League matches, Fiorentina having won each of the previous nine. A major highlight for Fiorentina is their attacking form in this competition; in nine of the last 10 matches, they scored two or more goals. However, they have just one clean sheet in the last five.
Basel sailed to this stage in very dramatic fashion, coming from behind in the 86th minute to level their quarter final tie with Nice and then in the eighth minute of extra time they grabbed the winner, away from home. The Swiss side will have reason to feel they are here by right, even though they are the least favored to clinch this title. They have a good scoring run, which has massively favored them, scoring two in each of the last five in this competition, and at least two in eight of the last 10. Basel have actually failed to score in only two of the last 10 Conference League matches. Seven of their last 10 matches in the competition have produced over 2.5 goals but they have just one clean sheet in the 10 matches. Away from home in this competition, they've failed to score in just one of the last five, while in the rest,

Fiorentina & FC Basel 1893 Squad Analysis
Arthur Cabral missed the weekend game against Napoli with injury and there are doubts on whether he may be fit in time for this game. He is Fiorentina's joint lead scorer, with Luka Jovic in this competition, and has a total of 15 goals this season so his absence will be felt. Luka Jovic will however be fired up for this. Another player unavailable is goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu.
At Basel, there will be no appearance for Spaniard Arnau Comas as well as Fabian Frei, both who are injured. Meanwhile Andy Pelmard and Riccardo Calafiori are major doubts after missing Basel's weekend game.
