Fiorentina will face Maccabi Haifa in the round of 16 of the Conference League: this was established by the draw organized in Nyon. La Viola, who after winning the group had obtained direct access to the 16 best teams in the tournament, will play the first leg away on March 7, the return match on the 14th at Franchi. “Hey Fiorentina, see you in March,” is the “X” message from the Israeli club. Among the round of 16, Ajax-Aston Villa stands out, recalling the “great challenges” of some time ago.
The location of the first challenge has not yet been decided, lIn fact, the war makes it impossible to play in Israel, so Maccabi Haifa will play “at home” so to speak. This season, the Israelis' European matches took place in Larnaca, Cyprus, and Budapest, Hungary, at the Honved Stadium. So after Ferencvaros, Fiorentina could return to Hungarian soil again.
These, in addition to that of Fiorentina, are the duos: Servette (Sui) – Viktoria Plzen (Cze); Ajax (Ned)-Aston Villa (Eng); Molde (Nor)-Bruges (Bel); Union SG (Bel)-Fenerbahce (Tur); Dinamo Zagreb (Cro)-Paok Thessaloniki (Gre); Sturm Graz (Aut)-Lille (Fra).
