As the inaugural league phase reaches its grand finale, Conference League high-flyers Vitoria de Guimaraes and Fiorentina are set for a Thursday night clash at Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques.
Second hosts third, with Vitoria needing just one point to secure a place in the last 16; La Viola can guarantee progress with a victory.
Having impressed throughout their Conference League campaign – averaging over two goals per game and remaining undefeated – Vitoria SC are on course for a cherished top-eight finish following their matchday five success in Switzerland.
The Portuguese side strode past St Gallen last week, recording 30 shots on target – more than half of which were on target – as they made it four wins and one draw from five fixtures so far.
Topping the Conference League in attempts (120) and currently ranked fourth for goals scored (12), Vitoria are earning a reputation as entertainers, and they will now try to finish the job in style in front of their supporters.
A formidable proposition on home turf, Vitoria can expect to pick up the point they need to ensure a last-16 spot.
