Puskas Academy
Fiorentina will look kickstart their Conference League campaign in style when they welcome Puskas Academy to their Stadio Artemio Franchi on Thursday evening. The Viola are seen as hot favourites to win the first leg, but the Hungarians should not be written off just yet. Luca Ranieri is back from the domestic ban, while fellow defender Michael Kayode should be recalled to the starting XI following his fine performance in the Serie A opener.
Puskas Academy, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Fiorentina by beating Ararat-Armenia in the double-header. Puskas, though, will have a much bigger fish to fry in Italy as Raffaele Palladino has a number of high-profile players to choose from. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be No. 10 Jonathan Levi, who scored the winner against MTK Budapest at the weekend.
