Fiorentina: UEFA Cup Draw
By: Ted | March 14th, 2008
Today in Switzerland UEFA announced the draw for the next two rounds of the UEFA Cup. (They also announced the draw for the Champions League, but who cares?) Fiorentina has a pretty manageable draw. I’m satisfied.
The Viola will be playing PSV in the next round, during the weeks of April 3 and April 10. Presuming they win, (and I am) they will then play the winners of the Rangers-Sporting tie. The winner of that tie will then play who everyone assumes will be Bayern Munich in the final.
Basically all I was hoping here was that the Viola could avoid Bayern until the final. All the teams listed here are solid clubs, but I do think Fiorentina can beat all of them. (They will need to play, however, as they did in the first leg of their Everton tie and not the second.) I am happy with this result.
How do the rest of you feel?
I will be back tonight or tomorrow with a preview of this Sunday’s Series A match.

PSV is tricky, I will only feel confident if the Viola get multiple goals at home or an away goal depending on which leg is first.

Avoiding Bayern is the key here; Bayern is destined to win, now it’s a matter of which team is destined to join them. This is certainly the more interesting half of the draw.

I think this is the best match of the Round of Eight. I see this one going both ways, but I did predict a PSV-Bayern final a looooooong time ago, so I am sticking with that. I should place a wager, huh?
