It kicks off at 18:45 CET (17:45 GMT). The Viola secured a 2-1 win in the first leg played in Florence last week.
Fiorentina have travelled to Poland without the injured Manor Solomon, Tariq Lamptey, Luca Lezzerini and Niccolò Fortini, as well as Marco Brescianini and Daniele Rugani, who are not part of the Fiorentina UEFA squad.
