The Europa Conference League Final takes place in Prague on Wednesday and we take a look at the game from a betting angle.
FIORENTINA
Fiorentina had to work hard for their spot in the final coming through a two-legged semi-final 4-3 on aggregate against Basel. They had lost the home leg 2-1, but came back to force extra time on the road and eventually grab the win.
They also lost the home leg in their quarter-final against Lech Poznan 3-2, but the damage had already been done with a 4-1 win on the road in the 1st leg. They had few problems seeing off their last 16 opponents Sivasspor and their Round of 32 clash with Braga, a comfortable 7-2 aggregate win.
Fiorentina have been in good form winning their last 2 League games, most recently beating Sassuolo 3-1 away on the weekend. That victory saw them finish 8th in the League.
WEST HAM
West Ham faced AZ Alkmaar in their final clash and after winning the home leg 2-1 they also won 1-0 on the road for a 3-1 aggregate victory.
In the quarter-finals Gent held them to a 1-1 draw on the road before West Ham won the home leg 4-1 for a comfortable 5-2 aggregate win. They swept past AEK Larnaca on aggregate in the last 16.
West Ham’s last action in the League was the previous weekend when they went down 2-1 away at Leicester and they finished the League in 14th spot.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
These sides have never met in a competitive match.

Fiorentina 7/4
Draw 23/10
West Ham 17/10
I expect this match to be as tight as this betting suggests and I would have to say the 90 minute draw at 23/10 looks the value.
Both teams have looked a bit suspect defensively of late and both teams to score, YES, at 10/11 also appeals while over and under-backers will find over 2.5 goals priced at 12/10 with under 2.5 goals at 7/10.
I am going to settle for the draw, but also take a correct score play that the match finishes 1-1 after 90 minutes.
Suggested Bet: The Draw at 23/10
Suggested Bet: Correct Score, 1-1 at 9/2
