For the new Uefa guidelines and the new regulations, for the Capitol there is now room for the playoffs of the Conference that last year smiled across the capital, Rome. To try to imitate the Giallorossi cousins, it will be necessary to overcome the Romanians of Club Cluj in the double clash with the first leg immediately at the Olimpico.
Fiorentina faced this tie, with Viola qualifying as runners-up in their group. For the lily of Italy as an opponent there was one of the teams in the Europa League, Lazio excluded because derbies are prohibited, but there were no high-level teams to worry the Tuscans. Fate has pushed Fiorentina to Portugal, where they will face their fate against Sporting Braga, with the return game being played at Franchi.
