Fiorentina vs Polissya Zhytomyr prediction
In 2023 and 2024, Fiorentina reached the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League, before I Viola then reached the semi-finals in 2025. They kicked off their 2025/26 campaign with a 3-0 defeat of Polissya Zhytomyr in Slovakia last week, thanks to an early Oleksandr Kudryk own goal before strikes from Robin Gosens and Albert Gudmundsson, albeit Moise Kean was sent off for the Italians.
Since then, Fiorentina were held to a 1-1 draw by Cagliari at the Sardegna Arena in Sardinia on the opening day of the Serie A season at the weekend. Polissya have already surpassed expectations by reaching this stage of the competition.
There is an expectation that Fiorentina will make heavy changes for this second-leg at the Artemio Franchi, but they should still win the second-leg quite comfortably.
