Match Betting Previews
Fiorentina versus West Ham
Fiorentina have been one of the dark horses in the Serie A all season long, but their recent form in the league has seen them drop all the way down to near mid table.
What was once almost a shoo-in for a European spot, is now fighting for life in the Conference League final.
Fiorentina have a load of talent on their roster, and their ability to extend plays has been awesome to watch.
Dominating the possession against nearly all teams in the Italian league has been one of their main positives to take away from this season and their manager has them knowing what the game plan is from minute one.
Defensively, they have shown cracks, though. Fiorentina needs to make this game as clean as possible, limit fouls, and counter-attacking opportunities.
There will surely be enough opportunities on the West Ham defensive end to try and score, but in turn they will have to be reliant on their backline which has been shaky at best this season.
Look for them to go through their star striker Cabral or Jovic in this one.
West Ham is going to be hard-pressed to make a run here in the Conference League, and they will want to make one last effort before most of their star players leave.
With Declan Rice and Lucas Paqueta waiting for bigger offers from other clubs, the time is now for West Ham to secure a good position for Europe next season.
David Moyes’ squad will be looking at a really tough roster transition which will see him having to replace some of the best players on the team.
There is no doubt that they might be on the same level, talent-wise, with Fiorentina but they need to execute unlike they’ve done in the Premier League this year.
