Fiorentina learn potential Conference League play-off opponents | OneFootball

Fiorentina will be up against either Ararat Armenia or Puskas Akademia in the Europa Conference League preliminary round later this month.

The Viola have reached the Final in the last two editions of the tournament, but are once again forced to qualify via the play-off.

Thanks to other results, they now know that their opponents will be either Hungarian team Puskas Akademia or the Armenian club Ararat.

Coach Raffaele Palladino will be able to start preparing for a specific rival when those two teams complete their round on August 8 and 15.

Tough start to season for Fiorentina

The first leg for Fiorentina in the play-off will be played on August 22 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, then the second leg is away on August 29.

They begin their Serie A season on August 17 away to Parma, then have a trip to Venezia on August 25 and host Monza on September 1, so they really need to hit the ground running under a new coach.
