Both Olympiacos and Fiorentina have big decisions to make in midfield ahead of today’s Europa Conference League final.
The Greek side have given Vicente Iborra a starting berth, which means Andre Horta is in the bench. Francisco Ortega shakes off an injury concern to also start, with Omar Richards a substitute.

Former Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic came off the bench to score in that game and is back among the substitutes against Fiorentina. Chiquinho returns from a domestic suspension to start.
Fiorentina’s big decision also came in midfield as Giacomo Bonaventura gets the nod in the centre. The Italians boast a settled line-up, spearheaded by Andrea Belotti up front.
Vincenzo Italiano is only without the injured winger Riccardo Sottil and unregistered Gaetano Castrovilli, who is only just back from a long-term knee injury.
