Sivasspor have a mountain to climb to make it to their first European quarter-final as they come up against Fiorentina at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadı. This second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League round of 16 will be played on Thursday. The first leg ended in a 1-0 win for Fiorentina with Antonin Barak scoring the winner, while Sivasspor saw Max Gredel sent off with a direct red card. The veteran was also dismissed on Monday in their domestic match that ended in a 3-0 loss to İstanbulspor. This meant they have lost three competitive matches in a row and are struggling in the Süper Lig relegation zone. Playing at home may not be particularly advantageous although they have won two of their last three matches played here, in addition to one match awarded. Their performance in the Conference League at home has been tricky with a win, draw and loss each including a 3-0 win over Cluj in the latest such match.

Fiorentina have continued their good form after the first leg and won 2-0 in Serie A over the weekend that kept them just outside the European qualification spots. As they are not guaranteed a place in Europe for next season, progressing deeper in this tournament is a must. They have won five matches in a row in all competitions and are unbeaten in seven. It gets even better in the Conference League where they are absolutely flying. The visitors have won their last seven Conference League matches in a row. Being on the road hasn’t deprived them of their usual swagger as Fiorentina have won their last three away Conference League games in a row, each time scoring at least three goals.
