Fiorentina in crisis play their final Conference League opening phase game away to Lausanne-Sport with Edin Dzeko<\/a> and Roberto Piccoli<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It kicks off at the Stade de la Tulliere<\/a> at 20.00 GMT.<\/p>\n

This is the last match of League phase in the Conference League, and Fiorentina find themselves in 11th place on nine points, one more than their Swiss opponents.<\/p>\n

Pretty much everything is still up for grabs going in, as a victory could send them directly into the Round of 16, or they could miss out altogether on the play-offs.<\/p>\n

The crisis is all-encompassing, without a single Serie A win all season, and losing their last two in Europe.<\/p>\n

Coach Paolo Vanoli knows the focus has to be avoiding relegation<\/a>, so he rotates the squad with Dzeko and Piccoli upfront.<\/p>\n

Christian Kouame gets his first start of the season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament last term, with Eddy Kouadio<\/a> and Amir Richardson<\/a> also given rare chances.<\/p>\n

Robin Gosens<\/a> and Jacopo Fazzini<\/a> did not make the trip, while Cher Ndour<\/a> is suspended.<\/p>\n

Lausanne-Sport are missing Nicky Beloko, Oscar Renovales, Ethan Bruchez and Muhanad Alsaad, while Gaoussou Diakite is on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

Brandon Soppy<\/a> is on loan from Atalanta<\/a> and therefore a familiar face for Serie A.<\/p>\n
