FIORENTINA vs. Palmeiras: Lineups & Match Thread

Fiorentina's second game on Copa EuroAmericana is a match in Sao Paolo, against Palmeiras. Vincenzo Montella went for somewhat surprising starting 11.

Fiorentina (4-3-2-1): Neto; Tomovic, Hegazi, Savic, Pasqual; Mati Fernandez, Bakic, Lazzari;Joaquin, Ilicic; Babacar

Palmeiras (4-4-2): Fábio; Weldinho, Wellington, Marcelo Oliveira, Victor Luis; Josimar, Wesley, Allione, Mendieta; Leandro, Erik.

There are certainly interesting things to look forward to in Fiorentina. Bakic and Lazzari have the chance to prove that they do belong in this team. Can a defense without Gonzalo even work? Babacar might be playing his last game (for now), as the voices of him being loaned out are getting stronger, but a good performance today could get him closer to purple shirt in the coming season.

Let's enjoy hopefully a fun game against Edmundo's exclub, and another win in this weird, but entertaining tournament. Forza Fiorentina!
