What is at stake for Crystal Palace and Fiorentina?

Despite being viewed as the favourites for the trophy throughout this season's competition, Crystal Palace are yet to overly impress.

Not only did they finish outside of the top eight in the League Phase, they have only defeated Zrinjski Mostar and AEK Larnaca by 3-1 and 2-1 aggregate scorelines in the knockout phase.

This will represent their first competitive game since March 19, when they defeated Larnaca in Cyprus after extra time.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina are bidding to reach at least the semi-finals of this competition for the fourth season in a row.

Paolo Vanoli's side have defeated Polish opposition across the last two rounds, beating Jagiellonia Bialystok and Rakow Czestochowa by 5-4 and 4-2 aggregate scorelines respectively.

They have recorded four wins and two draws from their last six games across all competitions, a run which includes a 1-1 draw versus Inter Milan before the March international break.
