Fiorentina will lock horns with Lyon knowing that a victory will guarantee them a spot in the knock-out stage of the Champions League, as Liverpool would then bow out of the competition irrespective of the consequences of their game.
However, a loss to the Ligue 1 club would put them in a precarious position, as they play the Reds in the final game of the group stage. To add to the pressure, they will be playing at an atmospheric Anfield, where the players would be subjected to play under extremely hostile conditions.
The Viola coach Cesare Prandelli is likely to have instructed his men to go all out for the winner, so as to give fans at the Stadio Artemio Franchi something special to savour.
