💡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.
