Is it likely that Switzerland will make it to the final round?
Fiorentina are looking to secure their place in the UEFA Europa Conference League final, as they prepare to face Basel in the second leg of their semi-final match-up. The Italian side lost the first leg in Italy, 1-2, but bookmakers favor them for the upcoming match, with odds of -1.78 for a Fiorentina win.
In the first leg, goals from Diuf and Amduni put Basel in a commanding position, but Fiorentina's Antonin Barak scored to keep the tie alive. Fiorentina's squad, a mix of seasoned European veterans and new additions, is well-equipped to challenge Basel. Striker Edin Dzeko and Moise Kean have been contributing to the offensive threats, while the midfield, led by Cher Ndour and Robin Gosens, is expected to manage the game tempo effectively.
Fiorentina's recent form in the Conference League is impressive, with the team consistently progressing deep into the competition. They were runners-up in 2023 and semi-finalists in 2024, demonstrating strong performances. However, Basel's recent form is less clear, as they have not won any of their last 5 home games in the season.
Over the last 5 games of the season, Basel has scored over 2.5 goals in 4 matches, with odds of 1.72. Bookmakers expect a high-scoring game, with odds of -1.72 for "Total over 2.5" and -2.20 for "Total under 2.5". A draw between Basel and Fiorentina is offered at a coefficient of -4.10, while a Basel victory is priced at -4.40.
As the second leg approaches, Fiorentina will be looking to capitalize on their European pedigree and experience to advance to the final. The match promises to be an exciting one, with both teams eager to secure a spot in the final.
