Fiorentina must avoid defeat to guarantee top spot in the Conference League, as Lucas Beltran and Nico Gonzalez start in this head-to-head with Dejan Stankovic’s Ferencvaros.

It kicks off in Budapest at 17.45 GMT.

The Viola have already qualified for the next phase of the Conference League, but a point would suffice here to secure first place and therefore avoiding the knockout round play-offs.

Giacomo Bonaventura, Arthur Melo, Riccardo Sottil, Gaetano Castrovilli and Dodo are injured, while captain Cristiano Biraghi sits out a ban.

When these sides met in October, Fiorentina had to fight back from 2-0 down for a draw with Jonathan Ikone deep into stoppages.

Ferencvaros also need only a point to guarantee qualification in second place, but being on home turf will want to go for the victory.

Myenty Abena and Adama Traore are injured, while Adam Halmai is a long-term absentee, but Barnabas Varga returns after an injury lay-off.

Ferencvaros: Dibusz; Makreckis, I Cisse, Anaeba, Civic; Abu Fani, Esiti; Katona, Zachariassen, Marquinhos; B Varga

Fiorentina: Christensen; Kayode, Milenkovic, Ranieri, Parisi; Maxime Lopez, Mandragora; Nico Gonzalez, Barak, Brekalo; Beltran

Ref: Godinho (POR)
