A strong away win for Sporting Braga against Maritimo the last match, as Račić and Banza were on target. Defender Borja got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.83/10. Borja served one assist, hit one key pass and won 8 of 10 duels.

Fiorentina form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated FC Twente, Rigas FS, Hearts and Istanbul Basaksehir in order to reach knockout round play-offs of Europa Conference League.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fiorentina so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-6 (win-draw-lose). When we have look at the Europa Conference League statistics, we find 5W-2D-1L. This is both home and away.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Fiorentina, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Juventus. Amrabat got a match rating of 7.6 in that game, top player of the team. Amrabat hit one key pass and had 64 successful passes (of 71 total).

A 1-2 loss hosting Bologna before that.

A new game in only three days for Fiorentina, the Serie A home match versus Empoli. Busy days.

The attacking power of Fiorentina when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 11 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 12 goals have been conceded by Fiorentina in these games.
