Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cagliari, Fiorentina will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they welcome LASK to their Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Viola aim to get their job done in the Conference League as soon as possible and they are seen as hot favourites to win Thursday’s clash. Both Edoardo Bove and Marin Pongracic are out of contention, while the likes of Moise Kean, Andrea Colpani, and Albert Gudmundsson are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their three-game losing run in all competitions, we are tempted to back Fiorentina to win Thursday’s encounter. To make things even more complicated for the Austrian outfit, goalkeeper Jorg Siebenhandl is banned for the match, while both Usor and Andrade miss out with injuries.
