Polissya manager Ruslan Rotan hasn’t sprung any major surprises. For more about Polissya, check our Meet the Club piece and tactical preview.
Fiorentina manager Stefano Pioli does what most of us have clamored for and drops a forward for a midfielder. Edin Džeko’s the one to make way, with Cher Ndour replacing him next to Nicolò Fagioli and Simon Sohm in a decision that won’t get people talking about Amir Richardson’s future at all.
Even with so few fans making the trek to the Tatran Arena in Prešov,
Slovakia, there’s already some beef between the two courtesy of Fiorentina’s social media post listing kickoff times. Including Moscow and not Kyiv wasn’t a great move and Polissya’s social team noticed, responding with irritation and prompting its Viola counterpart to delete and update the graphic.
Lineups
Polissya (4-3-3): Kudryk; Korniychuk, Beskorovayni, Chobotenko, Kravchenko; Lednev, Babenko, Andriyevsky; Nazarenko, Filippov, Gutsulyak
Fiorentina (3-5-2): de Gea; Ranieri, Pongračić, Comuzzo; Gosens, Ndour, Fagioli, Sohm, Dodô; Guðmundsson, Kean
How to watch
It’s not streaming anywhere I can find. As a reminder, any requests for or links to illegal streams will get you banned, but nothing’s stopping you from a friendly exchange of email addresses if you want to discuss stuff outside of the comment section. No Twitter today because both Mikes and I are busy.
Forza Viola!
