Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:

Fiorentina

Fiorentina

Club Brugge

Club Brugge

A place in the Conference League final will be at stake when Fiorentina and Club Brugge take on each other in a highly-anticipated double-header. The Viola survived Plzen in the quarter-finals and they are seen as favourites to win this two-legged tie as well. However, they will have to showcase their quality on the field. Vincenzo Italiano has a full squad to choose from, except for M’Bala Nzola, who remains in the recovery room.

Club Brugge, on the other hand, are on the right track to regain the Jupiler League trophy. Nicky Hayen’s men are on a seven-game winning run in all competitions. Therefore, we are positive that they will make life difficult for Fiorentina at Stadio Artemio Franchi. Taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards in the first leg. All Thiago, De Cuyper, and Mechele are back to contention after the trio missed the PAOK game through suspension.
