Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 2-1
Fiorentina
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Estadio Benito Villamarin when Betis and Fiorentina lock horns in the Conference League semis, first leg. Los Beticos faced no difficulties in the two-legged tie with Jagiellonia, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the famous Serie A outfit. Cedric Bakambu should recover in time to face Fiorentina, while both Diego Llorente and Ezequiel Avila remain in the recovery room.
The Viola, on the other hand, defeated Empoli 2-1 in Derby dell’Arno at the weekend, but they face an uphill task against the high-flying Andalusians. As Betis have turned their “Benito Villamarin” into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Florence with their hands empty. The good news for the visiting side is that all Dodo, Nicolo Zaniolo, and Matias Moreno are back from suspension. Anyhow, we predict that Manuel Pellegrini’s men are going to win the first leg.
