European debut for Fiorentina in the first phase: tonight at 9pm the Viola will face the Welsh team New Saints. Raffaele Palladino knows that his team’s next tests will also depend on this test, although he is clearly thinking of a strong turnover, with Dodò who could be the only one confirmed with respect to the drawn match against Empoli.
How Fiorentina arrives
Palladino is running out of cards to play: he needs to get off to a good start in the Conference League. In the championship there was just one victory in 6 games. The coach is thinking about turnover, but is worried about the defense where Martinez Quarta, Biraghi and Comuzzo will be missing due to suspension, plus Pongracic who is still injured. The coach said in this regard: “We will make several changes but I expect positive responses from those who take the field and I am sure that we will do everything to win and put on a great performance.” Ballot open between Richardson and Mandragora in the median, in front of Beltran with Ikone and Sottil.
How The New Saints arrives
The Welsh arrive with the entire team at the disposal of coach Craig Harrison, with the exception of the suspended Jordan Williams. Daniels, Davies, Bodenham and Redmond should find space in front of Roberts. Williams, Holden and Smith should make up the midfield, with space up front for the trident Wilson, Oteh and Bradley. They are fifth in the league with 15 points and come from a large 6-1 away win over Newtown.
