Επιπλέον, η Φιορεντίνα αναμένεται να κάνει αρκετές αλλαγές με την προοπτική να ξεκουράσει βασικούς παίκτες ενόψει του αγώνα της Σέριε Α με την Έλας Βερόνα. Ο Μόιζε Κιν είναι πιθανό να μείνει εκτός ενδεκάδας, με τον Κριστιάν Κοαμέ να αναλαμβάνει την επιθετική γραμμή.

Από την πλευρά του, ο APOEL, που βρίσκεται σε δύσκολη θέση τόσο στο εγχώριο όσο και στο ευρωπαϊκό επίπεδο, αναμένεται να παρατάξει την πιο δυνατή του σύνθεση με επικεφαλής τον έμπειρο Μαροκινό επιθετικό Γιουσέφ Ελ-Αράμπι.
