Puskas Academy impressed last week by striking twice to build a two-goal lead against Fiorentina and later salvaging a 3-3 draw with Wojciech Golla's 89th-minute equalizer, keeping their hopes alive for a historic breakthrough into the main draw of a European competition.
With past efforts in European qualifiers falling short, including exits in earlier rounds of the Europa League and Conference League, Puskas is eager to secure their first-ever group stage spot. Their success in the third qualifying round against Ararat, featuring a high-scoring 3-3 draw and a decisive 1-0 win, highlights their readiness for another tough challenge.
A similar narrow victory over Fiorentina in the second leg would see them advance, buoyed by enthusiastic home support.
In contrast, Fiorentina, despite their status as two-time Conference League finalists, have struggled under new manager Raffaele Palladino, remaining winless in their first three competitive matches. Their recent clean sheet against Venezia was a rare bright spot, but failing to score against a newly promoted side was disappointing. The Viola will need to balance their attack and defense effectively to overcome Puskas and avoid a surprising elimination.
