Head-to-head statistics Fiorentina - Celje
Fiorentina Team Overview
🟣 Fiorentina approach the second leg of their European fixture in a sour mood. The team failed to secure a victory at home against Parma, effectively dropping out of the race for Champions League spots. In the first leg against Celje, Raffaele Palladino opted for significant squad rotation. Perhaps now the focus will shift, and more first-team players will take the field. Notably, in Slovenia, first-choice goalkeeper David de Gea was between the posts, marking only his second appearance in this season's Conference League.
🔝 Team captain Luca Ranieri scored a stunning goal in last week's match. The center-back picked up the ball near the corner flag, dribbled past two opponents along the byline, and scored from a tight angle. This was his first goal in the Conference League this season.
❌ Due to suspensions, center-back Matias Moreno, right-back Dodo, and attacking midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo will not play. Midfielders Edoardo Bove and Andrea Colpani have been unavailable for some time. Left-back Robin Gosens is sidelined with a knee injury and will also miss the match.

Celje Team Overview
🔵 Celje are determined to challenge the Italian favorites for a spot in the semifinals. Albert Riera's team is also vying for European competition places in their domestic league, currently occupying a European zone position on points dropped. In the first leg, the Slovenian side wasn't shy, attacking frequently but lacked finishing, scoring just one goal with an xG of 1.51.
⚽️ The lone goal for Celje in their home game was netted by right winger Logan Deloye-Shobe. This marked his debut goal in the current Conference League campaign.
❌ The second leg, like the first, will see the absence of the team's top scorer Armands Kucis due to an ACL injury. He has scored 8 goals and provided 2 assists in the Conference League, including qualifiers.
