Thursday night sees the arrival of the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League semi-finals between Fiorentina and Real Betis with Betis holding a slender 2-1 lead going into the affair. The home side go into this off a loss against Roma and haven’t won in 2 whilst the away side have hit form at the right time of the season having won their last 4 in a row. Join me as we go through everything you need to know ahead of Thursday’s clash.
The game will be broadcasted live on both Discovery+ UK and TNT Sports Channel 4 with a 20:00 kick-off time.
Betis haven’t kept a clean sheet in 6 matches whilst Fiorentina haven’t kept one in 5. Both teams are high scoring with the home side scoring 1.51 goals per match whilst the away side score an average of 1.53 goals per match. Antony has scored 3 times in his last 4 matches for Real Betis. Clashes between the two sides have never resulted in a match where no goals have been scored.
Predicted Lineup – (3-5-2) – De Gea, Pongracic, Mari, Comuzzo, Gosens, Mandragora, Richardson, Nduor, Parisi, Kean, Zaniolo. Fiorentina go into this having to win by two goals to automatically make the Europa Conference League final. However, having not won in 2 and having scored just 1 in these two matches, this could be harder than it looks. The home side must therefore be attacking, use Kean and Zaniolo and get the crowd on their side as well as on Betis’ back.
Predicted Lineup – (4-2-3-1) – Adrian, Rodriguez, Natan, Bartra, Sabaly, Carvalho, Altimira, Rodriguez, Lo Celso, Antony, Hernandez. The aim for Betis is simple – don’t lose and they are through to the Europa Conference League final. On paper, they would look to the favourites coming off the back of four straight wins and holding the advantage from the first leg. However, anything can happen on a European night. Therefore, the away side must remain composed and not distracted by the home crowd. If they are able to do this, they have a better chance of making it through.
