UECL: Fiorentina vs. Rakow Czestochowa – Probable Line-Ups and Viewing Details Fiorentina will face Rakow Czestochowa in the UEFA Conference League round of 16 on Thursday, with Roberto Piccoli set to start as the team’s centre-forward in place of injured Italy international Moise Kean. Kean is expected to return for his Serie A club, Cremonese, in a match on Monday, leaving Piccoli as the primary option up front. The Italian side, managed by Paolo Vanoli, will look to build on their recent success in the competition, having defeated Jagiellonia Białystok in a two-leg play-off to secure their place in the knockout stage. Rakow Czestochowa, which finished second in their league group, qualified directly for the round of 16. The Polish side will be a tough opponent, with their attacking options including Fabiano Parisi and Jacopo Fazzini, both of whom could feature in a heavily rotated Fiorentina lineup. Vanoli is expected to make several changes to his squad, resting key players such as Dodo and Nicolo Fagioli while giving opportunities to younger talents like goalkeeper Oliver Christensen, who will replace David De Gea in goal. The match is scheduled for 19:45 GMT, with live coverage available in the UK on TNT Sports 6 and online via Discovery+. American fans can watch the game on Paramount+. The contest will be accompanied by extensive pre-match analysis, live commentary, and post-match reactions on Football Italia’s liveblog. Probable line-ups for the encounter include Fiorentina’s 4-3-3 formation: Christensen in goal, with Fortini, Comuzzo, Ranieri, and Gosens forming the defense. Midfielders Fabbian, Mandragora, and Ndour will support the attack, while Parisi, Piccoli, and Fazzini will lead the front line.#uefa_conference_league #fiorentina #rakow_czestochowa #roberto_piccoli #paolo_vanoli
