After the impressive display that resulted in a 2-1 win in the first leg of this semifinal in Italy, Basel will be looking to build on that on Thursday night on home soil.

The hosts Basel went into the first leg as distinct underdogs and that won't change on Thursday. Heiko Vogel's side knocked out Slovan Bratislava in the round of 16 and Nice in the quarterfinals, so they will be confident that they have what it takes to reach the final. On top of that, Thursday's match is at home, where they have lost just once in the Conference League this season.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, enters this match four days after a comfortable 2-0 win over Udinese, which ended their streak of three games without a win in all competitions. Despite their recent troubles, the visitors do have something to brag about ahead of this game. Vincenzo Italiano's men have not only won their last five away games in the Conference League, but have also scored at least three goals in each of those games.
