Preview:Rapid Vienna vs. Fiorentina – prediction, team news, lineups
Europe has offered vital reassurance to Stefano Pioli's Fiorentina squad, and the two-time Conference League runners-up seek another pick-me-up in Thursday's trip to Rapid Vienna on matchday two.
Having advanced through several qualifying rounds to reach the league phase, the Austrians were beaten 4-1 by Lech Poznan; however, Peter Stoger’s team hope that returning to Weststadion will strengthen them against Pioli's unpredictable team.
Considering that their team needed to survive three qualifying rounds to reach the league phase, Rapid fans will feel their team deserved better on matchday one.
Lech Poznan’s decisive victory over Stoger’s team demonstrates that no favours are granted in this level of European competition.

A night of rotation. Piccoli is there, but Gud isn't yet. Fortini and Parisi are on the wings. And Viti (re)emerges in defense.
The match at the Allianz Stadion against Rapid Vienna is a huge deal for Fiorentina, yet Stefano Pioli won't give up on rotating his squad. This was immediately clear from the names of those called up who (didn't) leave for Austria, and even more so from the coach's own admission, which clarified that the starting eleven facing the Biancoverdi tonight will be significantly different from the one that played in the last few league games: a matter of a congested schedule. Kean and Gosens, for starters, remained in Florence: the former to carry out individual training (but the striker is fine and will start against Bologna), the latter because he is suffering from the flu (though the German is also dealing with the after-effects of the flexor problem he suffered last week). Therefore, with the exception of De Gea, Marí, and Mandragora, the feeling is that tonight's lineup will feature all new players compared to last Sunday's match at San Siro.
