Fiorentina-Roma will be played at the Stadio Franchi from 8.45 pm.
Purple Eve.
Against Roma to stay attached to the train for Europe: Fiorentina has no alternative tonight than trying to win the direct match.
After the three knockouts in a row in the league and accomplices the successes of Lazio (with Sampdoria) and Atalanta (at La Spezia), the purple team slipped to 8th place, 6 lengths from the Biancocelesti and 3 from the Bergamo players and from Rome itself.The last victory for Italian dates back to April 16, 1-0 over Venice: since then only defeats, 2-1 in Salerno, 1-0 at San Siro with Milan, in the middle the recovery of the match with the 'Udinese lost to Franchi 4-0.
To these must also be added the 2-0 suffered in the second leg of the Coppa Italia in Turin with Juventus.
Giallorossi eve.
Try to forget the final in Tirana, focusing only on the race for fifth place in the next 15 days.
José Mourinho had already been clear after the qualification against Leicester and although he did not speak in the conference, these days he repeated it as a mantra to the team: the best way to prepare for the Conference League final is to honor the championship and close the season in fifth place.
A position that would guarantee the Europa League without having to wait to win the Conference against Feyenoord and for this reason the challenge of the Franchi with Fiorentina is a fundamental watershed.
Beating the Italian team would mean climbing to more than six from the Viola two days from the end with the direct clashes in favor,
