Olympiacos v Fiorentina

Olympiacos vs Fiorentina Preview

The final of this season's UEFA Conference League will take place at the OPAP Arena in Athens so Olympiacos are expected to be cheered on by a substantial fan-base in this final against Italian Serie A side, Fiorentina, as both teams battle it out for the UEFA Conference League trophy.

Olympiacos head into this European final on the back of a solid point earned away from home at Panathinaikos in the Greek Super League which has earned them qualification to next season's UEFA Conference League as they finished the second phase of the season in third place in the Greek Championship Round group.

However, an even bigger prize may await Jose Luis Mendilibar's Olympiacos side if they manage to win this upcoming final as the winners of this upcoming final at the OPAP Arena will automatically qualify for the Europa League next season.

Recent results suggest Olympiacos stand a decent chance of lifting the Conference League trophy this season as the Greek outfit have been handed just one defeat out of their last 12 matches in all competitions which came by way of a 2-0 loss away at PAOK in the domestic Super League but also includes picking up nine wins in the process.

En-route to this Europa Conference League final, Olympiacos have registered wins against Maccabi Tel Aviv (in extra-time), Fenerbahce (on penalties) and a comprehensive 6-2 win on aggregate against Premier League club Aston Villa.

Fiorentina captured a 3-2 win away from home at Cagliari last time out in the Italian Serie A but with just one game of the season remaining for the visitors, Vincenzo Italiano's side find themselves four points adrift of seventh placed Lazio prior to their final game of the season away from home at the recently crowned champions of the Europa League, Atalanta.

Nevertheless, the Italian outfit will also fancy their chances of collecting some silverware in the shape of the UEFA Conference League trophy having been handed just two defeats out of their last 12 matches in all competitions which saw Fiorentina slip to losses on the road at Atalanta (4-1 in the Coppa Italia) and a 2-1 loss away at Verona in Serie A.

Fiorentina have also registered six wins within this recent 12-match period as well though which gives the Serie A side a decent chance of success here, while their route to this final saw Fiorentina gain important wins against Maccabi Haifa 5-4 on aggregate, Viktoria Plzen 2-0 on aggregate and Club Brugge 4-3 on aggregate.

Olympiacos v Fiorentina Verdict

Seven of Olympiacos' last 12 matches have resulted in both teams scoring (58.3%) while nine of Fiorentina's last 12 matches overall have also seen goals for both teams (75.0%) so the goals market appeals in this upcoming final.
