Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino will be without both Nicolo Zaniolo, who is suspended following his red card against his former club Roma, and Danilo Cataldi, still recovering from a thigh injury.

Additionally, top scorer Moise Kean was substituted at the end of Thursday's Conference League loss to Betis, so Lucas Beltran is ready to partner with Albert Gudmundsson in attack.

On a positive note for Palladino, who recently signed a new contract, Pablo Mari can return to the defensive line after being left off the Viola's UEFA squad list, while Brazilian wing-back Dodo has made a swift recovery from appendix surgery in under two weeks.

Venezia has welcomed back their former first-choice goalkeeper Filip Stankovic, but Andrei Radu has performed well in his absence and is expected to retain his spot.

Only Richie Sagrado and long-term absentee Michael Svoboda are out, giving Eusebio Di Francesco a nearly full squad to select from.

Once again, Christian Gytkjaer and Daniel Fila are competing for a starting spot upfront, likely supported by John Yeboah or Gaetano Oristanio.

Venezia possible starting lineup:

Radu; Schingtienne, Idzes, Cande; Zerbin, Perez, Nicolussi Caviglia, Busio, Haps; Yeboah; Gytkjaer

Fiorentina possible starting lineup:

De Gea; Pongracic, Mari, Ranieri; Dodo, Richardson, Adli, Mandragora, Gosens; Gudmundsson, Kean
