Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
All eyes will be on Doosan Arena when Plzen and Fiorentina square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Conference League clash. Plzen survived Servette in the last 16, but Fiorentina will pose much bigger threat for the home side than their previous rivals. Jan Sykora limped off with injury in a goalless draw with Karvina, with Cheick Souare likely to step up. Both Jan Kopic and Samson Dweh are banned for the match.
The Viola, on the other hand, did well to make it to the Conference League final last season and, no doubt, they want to, at least, repeat the success. The Serie A, side, though, should be happy with the share of spoils this time out and we predict that they are going to adopt a cautious approach in the first leg. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The good news for the visiting side is that Serbia defender Nikola Milenkovic is back from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Christian Kouame):
Christian Kouame is an Ivory Coast international who has been playing for Serie A side Genoa since 2018. Kouame started his youth career at Prato and after ending his loan spells with the likes of Sassuolo and Inter, he returned to Stadio Lungobisenzio.
The 185-cm-tall forward made his professional debut with Prato on September 6, 2015 in a 2-1 loss to Pisa. Christian Kouame started the match, but he was replaced by Alberto Aladje after 66 minutes. The Genoa attacker, though, has yet to earn a call-up for the Ivory Coast national team. He has two caps for the Ivory Coast U23 team, but he is still eyeing his senior team debut.
His main position is centre-forward, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. The Genoa footballer was born in Abijan on December 6, 1997 and he has a contract with the Rossoblu until June 30, 2023.
