Fiorentina
- European football can often be a side issue for AC Fiorentina as their primary target is survival in Serie A, but Paolo Vanoli’s pragmatic yet flexible approach to the game should allow Fiorentina to maintain a balance between the two objectives.
- Fiorentina have won only two of their last five games in the league, but arrive in good spirits for this second leg after back-to-back victories against Como and Jagiellonia.
- Fiorentina are in a relegation battle in Serie A, but Jagiellonia are top of the Ekstraklasa with around 36 points as of late February 2026.
Jagiellonia
- Visitors Jagiellonia are much further ahead of Fiorentina domestically as they sit atop the Ekstraklasa.
- Adrian Siemieniec’s team have a very different approach to the game with a possession-based system that requires the players to stay disciplined in their positions and trigger pressings in a co-ordinated fashion.
- This should ensure that Jagiellonia control the rhythm of the match and can carve out plenty of chances by circulating the ball with patience.
