The sixth round of the UEFA Conference League will see Fiorentina welcome Dynamo Kiev to the Artemio Franchi Stadium on Thursday, with both teams looking to get three points.
The home team’s poor form continued on Saturday, as they lost 3-1 to Sassuolo, stretching their winless run to nine games across all competitions. They are having a terrible season in Serie A, sitting bottom of the table without a single victory.
Their struggles have also carried over into the Conference League, where losses to Mainz and AEK Athens have pushed them out of the top eight. Fiorentina have scored only one goal in their last three matches, and things don’t look promising, especially as they have won just one of their last eight home games.
The visitors are three points behind Fiorentina and sit 27th in the standings after a 2-0 loss to Omonia in their last European match. That defeat was part of a four-game winless run, which only ended on Saturday when they beat Kudrivka 2-1 in domestic action.
Dynamo have also been very poor away from home this season. Counting the qualifiers, they have lost all four of their European away matches since August, each by at least two goals.
