Olympiakos vs Fiorentina final tips and predictions: El Kaabi to settle Europa Conference League final
Olympiakos and Fiorentina will clash on Greek soil in the UEFA Europa Conference League final on Wednesday night (2000 BST)
This isn’t Fiorentina’s first rodeo having lost last year’s final to West Ham. Still, สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ we can’t ignore the fact this game will take place on Greek soil, which could be an advantage for Olympiakos.
The ball has hit the net 410 times in this season’s Europa Conference League and it may just take one moment of brilliance to settle game 141, the all-important final.
Few teams have contribute more to that tally than our finalists, with the Italian’s fixtures featuring 40 goals since the start of qualifying.
Their Greek opponents have playe far fewer matches – just eight, in fact – but have also average around 3.5 goals per match and stage a comeback for the ages.
Jose Luis Mendilibar channelle the spirit of Spanish counterpart Luis Enrique, mastermind of arguably the greatest comeback in football history when overturning a 4-1 first-leg deficit.
The Greeks collapse and trailed Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-1 in the round of 16, but goals from top-scorer Ayoub El Kaabi plus three others turne the tie around for a 7-5 aggregate win.
We’ll avoid backing over 11.5 goals on Wednesday, as finals are typically cagey. Not only are Fiorentina unbeaten in 13 in the competition, but their defence has in good form.
Either side of a wild 4-3 win over Maccabi, which seems typical of the Israelis, La Viola has allowe just six goals in nine contests, keeping four clean sheets in the process.
