The Viola managed to hold Sporting to a 2-2 draw in Lisbon, meaning they can take away two valuable away goals from that game. Juan Manuel Vargas gave Fiorentina the lead, while Alberto Gilardino added a late second goal to nullify strikes from Simon Vukcevic and Miguel Veloso.

Simon Vukcevic was sent off just after scoring the goal, which means he will miss this crucial decider in Florence. He celebrated by removing his shirt, which earned him a second booking and a red card.

Captain Joao Moutinho refused to blame the striker saying these things were normal in the heat of the moment. However it is clear that the Portuguese club starts with a disadvantage for this game and will need an early goal to swing matters their way.

With Adrian Mutu and Gilardino in great touch it is indeed difficult to see Cesare Pandrelli's men succumbing to any pressure especially in front of home fans. But Sporting can draw comfort from the fact that Veloso appears to be in great form and just might nick this one their way.
