Competition: Europa Conference League

Market: Fiorentina win

Odds: 4/5 @ 888sport

Desperate to claim a Conference League first-leg advantage on Thursday night, Fiorentina will make the trip to Poland when they meet Lech.

Starting with the hosts, while Lech might know that they face a real Conference League challenge this month, the Polish giants are enjoying an extended flurry. Last seen over the weekend picking up some perfect momentum as they claimed a deserved 2-0 victory at home against Warta, John van den Brom’s men are unbeaten in each of their last seven appearances across all competitions. Extending on their European advantage last month as they stormed their way to a stellar 5-0 aggregate romp against Swedish outfit Djurgarden, the former Genk boss has seen his side find a clinical edge in the final third. Including a 5-0 victory against Lechia on March 3rd, Lech have notched 17 strikes on their seven-match unbeaten run. It should also be highlighted, Thursday’s hosts have seen six of their last seven showdowns at the Stadion Poznan finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, although Fiorentina might have been disappointed after only collecting a 1-1 draw at home against Spezia, the Viola are in the midst of a real purple patch. Along with marking their return from the international break with a famous victory away at Italian icons Inter Milan, Vincenzo Italiano’s high-flying squad are unbeaten in each of their last 12 appearances across all competitions. With that rampant run of form stemming all the way back to February 12th, the Purples will be desperate to make an early Conference League statement on Thursday night. Extending on their European adventure last month thanks to a 5-1 aggregate win against Turkish outfit Sivasspor, Fiorentina have also gained a reputation for their success on the road. Including a 2-0 victory against Cremonese in their last appearance outside of Tuscany, we could be treated to another enjoyable affair here.
