Polissya Zhytomyr vs Fiorentina: Live Channel and How to Watch Info

A thrilling clash should be expected when Ukrainian underdogs Polissya Zhytomyr host Serie A side Fiorentina in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff clash at the Futbal Tatran Arena on Thursday evening.

This will be the first-ever meeting between these two sides. They have never met each other in a competitive or friendly game in the past. Polissya Zhytomyr heads into this match on the back of a 2-0 loss to LNZ in the Ukrainian Premier League, while Fiorentina also lost their last preseason match of 2025 against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Polissya Zhytomyr have been able to keep their dreams of European football alive, having defeated Hungarian side Paksi SE in the third qualifying round of the Europa Conference League. They head into this clash with just two wins in their last five competitive matches and are currently in 11th place in the Ukrainian Premier League after three matches. Polissya Zhytomyr has never qualified for a European competition in their history, having only played six matches in the Conference League qualifiers since 2024 and having won two games heading into this huge clash.

Fiorentina are focused on sealing their place in the Conference League, a title they can seriously fight to win. They head into this match at the back of a three-match winless run, having just won two of their five preseason matches and scoring just six goals in that period as well. Fiorentina have quite the history in the Europa Conference League, having finished as the runners-up in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons, which is why they're particularly hungry to break that streak and win the competition this time.

Ruslan Rotan has a relatively healthy Polissya Zhytomyr side at his disposal for the challenging European qualifier against Fiorentina. However, he is likely to miss his right-back Lucas Taylor for the upcoming clash as the defender is out of action with a ligament injury.

Stefano Pioli has been fortunate to see his players avoid injuries in preseason training and has more or less his entire squad available for this upcoming clash. However, he will be sweating on the fitness of Christian Kouame, who needs to pass a fitness test for this one.
