Grosseto will welcome Fiorentina to Stadio Olimpico Carlo Zecchini in a friendly on Thursday. The hosts will play their first friendly of the preseason while the Viola are in action for the second time.

The visitors got their preseason underway against their Primavera or U-20 side last week. They registered a comfortable 8-0 win. Cher Ndour scored a hat-trick while Moise Kean, Edin Dzeko, Dodo, Jacobo Fazzini, and Riccardo Sottil were also on the scoresheet.

The Gigliati got their campaign underway with a comfortable 8-0 win over their U-20 side and will look to continue that form here. It was also their first game under the former manager Stefano Pioli, who has returned to the club after six years.
