Fiorentina might be struggling in Serie A, but they are top of the Conference League with a perfect record after the first two match days.
The Viola are still without a single victory domestically, managing only three draws in the opening seven rounds of the Serie A season.
However, they confirmed their excellent Conference League record, having reached the Final two years on the bounce, then stopping at the semi-final last term.
Stefano Pioli’s side beat Sigma Olomouc 2-0 and then picked up a 3-0 win away to Rapid Vienna this evening.
There are several teams with a 100 per cent record still, namely AEK Larnaca, Celje, Lausanne-Sport, Samsunspor and Mainz.
Fiorentina are out on top because they have a goal difference of +5, the same as Larnaca, but with three away goals scored compared to just one.
The top eight teams go straight into the Round of 16, while those from ninth place to 24th enter the play-offs.
Sides from 25th to 36th position at the end of the league phase are eliminated from European competition.
