Olympiacos vs Fiorentina Prediction & Match Preview

Olympiacos vs Fiorentina Prediction

Olympiakos and Fiorentina take on each other in the UEFA Conference League final on Wednesday evening at OPAP Arena in Athens. Can Olympiakos reach immortality by becoming the first-ever Greek side to win a European trophy?

• Olympiakos scored 16 goals in the last six UEFA Conference League outings.
• Each of Fiorentina’s previous eight matches in all competitions produced goals at both ends.
• Ayoub El Kaabi notched five goals in a semi-final double-header against Aston Villa.

Olympiakos started the European journey in UEFA Europa League. After finishing their respective group in third place, they transferred to the Conference League knockout stages. They’ve eliminated Ferencvaros, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Fenerbahce, and Aston Villa on the way to the final.

Fiorentina made it to their second successive Conference League final. They are determined to right the last year’s wrongs. They fell 1-2 to West Ham in the deciding match for the title exactly twelve months ago. The Viola went past Maccabi Haifa, Viktoria Plzen, and Club Brugge en route to the new final.

Olympiakos have had a disappointing domestic campaign. They finished the season 3rd in the Super League standings. They are playing for a place in the UEFA Europa League next season here.

Nevertheless, their continental form has been exquisite this spring. Spanish manager Jose Luis Mendilibar has been doing an incredible job with this group of players of late.

The Spaniard is the team’s third permanent manager this year. Olympiakos have been especially impressive offensively in the semi-final ties against Aston Villa. The fact they’ve put six goals past Villa over two legs speaks volumes.

Fiorentina have also been playing attacking-minded football recently under Vincenzo Italiano. Each of their last eight games across competitions provided goals at both ends. The streak includes a 3-2 away win over Cagliari on Thursday evening. Knowing about the two teams’ strong attacking prowess, we must go with the Both Teams To Score as the main betting option at the 1.83 odds.

The second pick will be Ayoub El Kaabi to score anytime at the attractive 3.40 odds. The Moroccan forward is the competition’s top scorer with ten goals in just eight games in this term of UEFA Conference League. He struck five of his team’s six goals in a semi-final double-header against Aston Villa.

If anyone is to cause Fiorentina damage in this final, it is El Kaabi. We see big value in backing him to complete a sensational knockout phase campaign with a goal in the grand final.
