The Viola won a chaotic match 4-3 on neutral turf in Budapest last Thursday with the last-gasp Antonin Barak strike completing the turnaround.

It was a rare highlight in an otherwise dismal few weeks, followed by a 2-2 draw with Roma deep into stoppages after twice taking the lead.

Christian Kouame and Oliver Christensen are still out of action, but Arthur Melo and Lucas Martinez Quarta return to the squad.

Nico Gonzalez and Andrea Belotti surprisingly start with Antonin Barak and Jack Bonaventura.

Maccabi Haifa were rocked recently by news they had been docked a point domestically for fan violence, falling behind leaders Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Manuel ‘Show’ Cafumana was sent off for two yellow cards in the first leg and is therefore suspended, with Danil Lesvoi injured, Lior Kassa and Tomer Hamed ineligible.

Fitness tests were needed for Shawn Goldberg, Daniel Sondgren, Lior Rafalov and Ali Mohamed.

With enhanced security measures, road closures and it being an early kick-off on a working day, only 6,700 tickets were sold, including roughly 800 visiting fans.
