Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano insists they're capable of winning at Europa Conference League semifinal opponents FC Basel.

The Viola are in Switzerland needing to overcome a 2-1 deficit.

Italiano said: "There were those 10-15 minutes where we paid for inattention and allowed Basel to take the game home.

"We have to avoid that, knowing that we have little to manage and we just have to prepare and to try to score and put pressure on the opponent.

"(Basel will see) a team that won the first leg and often plays matches like in Florence, trying to close every space and then restart with fast people to overturn the lead.

"We will often have to be inside their half, bringing many men and trying to goal. We'll work intelligently, trying not to let them restart."
