Possibility of Swiss Reaching the Finals?
Fiorentina Favored in Upcoming Match Against Basel
Fiorentina is poised to take on Basel in an upcoming match, with bookmakers viewing the Italian side as the favorites. This prediction is based on Fiorentina's recent form and Basel's recent struggles.
In the Serie A weekend, Fiorentina secured a 2-0 home win against Udinese, maintaining their strong position in the league. However, Fiorentina has not won any of their last 3 away games in the season, which could pose a challenge in the upcoming match against Basel.
Basel, on the other hand, has had a mixed season. They are currently in 6th place in the Swiss league with 42 points, but they have experienced some setbacks, such as a heavy 1-6 defeat to St. Gallen in their domestic league.
The two teams have a history of European competition, with Fiorentina securing their spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) group stage for 2025–26 with a high probability, while Basel faced an early elimination in the 2025–26 season.
Bookmakers see Fiorentina as a team with a high likelihood to participate in the UECL league stage, indicating strong positioning or form entering the competition. Basel’s early exit implies they were less favored in the current campaign.
The odds for Fiorentina's success have been set at - 1.78, while the odds for Basel's victory are at - 4.40. Bookmaker Zenit offers to bet on "Total under 2.5" at a coefficient of - 2.20, suggesting a low-scoring game. However, bookmakers expect a high-scoring game, with odds of - 1.72 for "Total over 2.5".
In the first leg of the 1/2 final, Basel defeated Fiorentina 2-1, which could add an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming match. However, given Fiorentina's stable qualification and Basel’s recent form, Fiorentina would likely be the favored team if they face each other again this season.
It's important to note that this prediction is based on the information available and may not reflect the most current statistics or head-to-head match scores. For detailed current statistics, recent head-to-head match scores, or specific betting odds, live or specialized sports betting and analytics platforms should be consulted.
Although Basel managed to defeat Fiorentina in the first leg of the 1/2 final, the prediction for the upcoming match showcases Fiorentina as the favorites, considering their recent form and Basel's recent struggles. In particular, Fiorentina's success in the Serie A and strong potential to compete in the UEFA Europa Conference League further solidify their status as the bookmakers' top pick for the upcoming fixture against Basel.
