TPO - Football prediction Fiorentina vs Real Betis, Conference League semi-final at 2:00 a.m. on May 9 - information on squad, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. After a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in the first leg, Real Betis has moved closer to the ticket to the Conference League final this season.

Prediction before the match Fiorentina vs Real Betis

In the first leg of the Conference League semi-finals, Betis beat Fiorentina 2-1 at home. The La Liga representative played excellently, dominating Fiorentina for most of the match. In the 64th minute, Antony scored to make it 2-0 for Betis. However, Ranieri's equalizer for Fiorentina brought Betis' soaring legs back down to earth.

In 3 days, Fiorentina received 2 buckets of cold water. After the defeat at Betis, Fiorentina continued to lose 0-1 away to Roma. The loss to Roma dealt a heavy blow to Fiorentina in the race for the top 4 of Serie A this season. On the contrary, Betis returned to the domestic arena, beat Espanyol 2-1, thereby continuing their dreams in La Liga 2024/25.

From an underrated tournament, the Conference League suddenly became attractive because Betis was present in the semi-finals. And, Betis's attraction comes from Antony. The MU star has scored in 3 consecutive matches for Betis. Every time Antony scores or assists, great attraction is poured into him.

Betis has the support of stars to hope to continue playing well in Italy. In addition to Antony, Betis also has Isco, Lo Celso, both of whom are dangerous "drills" on the attack line and are playing extremely well. Meanwhile, Fiorentina will rely on collective strength, with home field advantage.

In the previous two seasons of the Conference League, Fiorentina reached the final but failed to reach the final. Coach Gonzalez and his team still have a chance to make a miracle of reaching the final of the C3 Cup three times in a row, when the gap is only one goal. To do that, Fiorentina must quickly regain their spirit after two recent consecutive defeats.

Antony beat De Gea in the first leg.

Form, head to head record Fiorentina vs Real Betis

Before losing to Betis in the first leg of the Conference League semi-finals, Fiorentina had a 9-match unbeaten streak. At home, Fiorentina had not lost in the last 7 matches. Playing well at home is the factor that helps Fiorentina go deep in the Conference League, at the same time competing in the top group of La Liga.

On the other hand, Betis' away record is quite impressive. They won against Girona, drew against Bialystok, drew against Barca, won against Leganes, drew against Vitoria, won against Getafe, won against Gent, lost against Celta Vigo, won against Mallorca and lost against Barca in their last 10 away matches.

In terms of spirit, Betis are clearly on fire against a Fiorentina side that has been pushed into a corner. This is the moment when the spirit of a club that has twice reached the Conference League final speaks for itself.
