The Question Is: Which team will persist in their undefeated run in the Conference League?
Ready for a thrilling football showdown? On Thursday, November 30, under the lights of the "Artemio Franchi" stadium, Fiorentina and Genk face off in the fifth round of the group stage of the Europa Conference League.
Fiorentina
Strengths: Scoring opportunities, free kicks, defending set pieces;
Weaknesses: Aerial duels, defending counterattacks, defending flank attacks.
La Viola, Italy's very own, remain undefeated in the Europa Conference League and are currently sitting pretty at the top of Group F. With a win in their next match, they can secure their spot in the playoffs. But securing the top spot early on seems unlikely. The home team wants more than just a positive result – they're aiming for a high-quality performance to impress their fans.
Genk
Strengths: Attacking set pieces, counterattacks;
Weaknesses: Struggles as the first number, defending offsides.
Genk, the Belgian side, shares Fiorentina's undefeated streak in this European tournament, but they're currently trailing in third place. They've only managed one win, defeating the weakest team in the group, Čukarički, with a score of 2-0. In their last round, Genk will again face the Serbian club, which leaves their chances for progression quite good. However, against Fiorentina, Genk won't be the favorite and will likely focus on defending their own goal.
