UEFA ECL-Club Brugge VS Fiorentina

 



 

💡Team Analysis

+ In the first leg, Fiorentina faced some difficulties in their 3-2 victory over Club Brugge, with the winning goal scored in stoppage time. At that time, the Belgians were already playing with ten men. The return leg will take place on Wednesday instead of Thursday.

+ Club Brugge has shown character many times this season, especially in European competitions. Fiorentina will be the favorite after their victory in Italy, but the “Violas” cannot boast of consistent play, so it won’t be surprising if they are less confident in Belgium. Moreover, Fiorentina has serious issues in away matches in all competitions. Therefore, I suggest taking a risk and betting on Over 2.5 and Club Brugge to reach the Conference League final.

 

Club Brugge

+ This season, Club Brugge has only lost once at home in all competitions – to Anderlecht in February. Since then, they have played 6 matches and won all of them. Fans of the club believe in their team’s ability to win against Fiorentina at home. Some may argue that Club Brugge’s priority should be to secure first place in the league and qualify for the Champions League. However, for a club that has only reached the finals of European tournaments twice in its 132-year history, this is not the case. The first time was in the 1975-76 season, but Club Brugge lost in the UEFA Cup final. Two years later, they reached the final of the European Cup, but once again the Belgians were defeated.

+ If they manage to overcome Fiorentina now, Club Brugge will reach the final of a European cup tournament for the third time in their history. This time it’s the Conference League. And for the first time, they won’t be playing against Liverpool.

+ Unfortunately, ahead of the match against Fiorentina, Nikki Hayen faced major problems. Goalkeeper Nordin Jackers and left-back Bjorn Meyer are out, with the latter set to miss several months due to a knee operation. Onyeka, who was sent off in the first leg, will also be unavailable.

 

Fiorentina

+ Fiorentina could reach the Conference League final for the second consecutive year. In case you forgot, the Italians lost to West Ham in the final last year (1:2). Back then, the “Violas” were not favorites, but if they make it to the final this time and face Olympiacos (which is quite possible), winning will be much easier. West Ham was too strong that year. But first, they have to get past Club Brugge. Their home victory (3:2) was much tougher than expected in Italy, with the winning goal scored in stoppage time and after Onyeka was sent off for the Belgians. Therefore, the return leg will be even more challenging. Moreover, Sottile, who scored the first goal, got injured during the match.

+ Unlike Club Brugge, Fiorentina has practically lost its chances to play in the Champions League next season. And qualifying for the Europa League will be very challenging, especially after their defeat to Verona in the last round. Therefore, winning the Conference League is the optimal way to secure a place in the Europa League for them this season. Not to mention that this is a chance to win their first European trophy since 1961.
