Fiorentina Faces Lausanne in Crucial Conference League Showdown

Fiorentina faces Lausanne-Sport in the final round of the Conference League group stage, with a victory essential for advancing to the knockout phase. The match is critical as Fiorentina grapples with a difficult domestic campaign, currently languishing at the bottom of the Serie A standings and eight points from safety. Coach Paolo Vanoli is expected to rotate his squad, resting goalkeeper David De Gea in favor of Tommaso Martinelli. This decision, alongside existing injuries and a suspension, means several key players will not feature, impacting the team's usual lineup. Despite their Serie A struggles, Fiorentina has shown promise in the Conference League, securing three wins to date. The upcoming match against Lausanne is followed by a crucial Serie A fixture at home against Udinese.
