Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Olympiacos vs. Fiorentina at Europa Conference League
In its first-ever European finals, Olympiacos meets Fiorentina in its hometown, Athens, but at OPAP Arena, the stadium of its big rivals, AEK. Fiorentina reached the ECL finals last year, and they are eager to correct errors from that game and take the trophy back to Florence. Whatever happens, this will be a big thing for the winner because it presents one of the biggest achievements in its history.
Olympiacos
Oly feels the pressure of playing in Athens, and the fans are already feeling euphoric because of this. The Greek team played well throughout the entire competition, making some big surprises, like erasing the deficit against Maccabi or beating Aston Villa in Birmingham.
Unlike in previous years, they are playing excellent football, emphasizing the offense and scoring goals. We saw them netting at least twice in five of the past six matches across all the competitions.
They aren’t afraid of attacking anyone, and we saw that throughout the entire season. Aston Villa’s defense felt Oly’s power when they allowed four goals in England and two more in Greece.
Fiorentina
Viola lost to West Ham in last year’s controversial finals, interrupted by English fans who even hurt one of Fiorentina’s players. It was one of the most frustrating experiences ever for the Italian fans, who hope to see that injustice corrected here.
Vincenzo Italiano’s boys lost the Coppa Italia semis a month ago, despite having a minimal edge from the first meeting, yet that didn’t disrupt their focus in the Conference League, with the team rising above the challenges and eliminating Club Brugge in the semis of that competition.
Their games include goals on both ends, with the latest eight in a row seeing both teams netting. All but one had three or more hits, and six had four or more hits.
Olympiacos: Tzolakis; Rodinei, Retsos, David Carmo, Ortega; Chiquinho, Iborra, Hezze; Podence, El Kaabi, Fortounis.
Fiorentina: Terracciano; Dodô, Martínez Quarta, Milenković, Biraghi; Mandragora, Bonaventura; González, Beltrán, Kouamé; Belotti
The two sides never met in the past, and this will be their first head-to-head clash.
Both teams have very good attacks and know how to use them properly. The Greek unit doesn’t care too much about the rivals but attacks constantly, and we need to add that it’s more or less the same with Fiorentina. Our pick for this match will be for both teams to score. When looking at the stats, it’s something quite usual in their respective matches.
Our verdict: Both teams to score
