Conference League, Fiorentina can detach the direct pass to the round of 16 in case of victory with the Austrians of LASK: predictions.
In the Conference League, unlike the other two continental competitions, there are only 2 days left until the end of the single group stage, which will end next December 19. Fiorentina, therefore, will try to get the better of LASK Linz in order to consolidate its place among the top eight in the maxiclassification – right now the Viola is sixth, on 9 points – and, above all, to detach the direct pass to the round of 16. In fact, in case of a success over the Austrians, the lilies would be certain, with one round in advance, to avert the playoff risk.
Three victories and one defeat so far for a Fiorentina side that has only missed the match in Nicosia against APOEL, perhaps due to the exaggerated turnover decided on that occasion by coach Palladino.
Even with the second lines on the field, however, the Viola still fared well, despite being less solid in their own half than in the league. While in Serie A Palladino’s men boast the best defense in the tournament (along with Napoli and Juventus), in the Conference League they collected only one clean sheet, in the opener against Welsh side The New Saints. The three points against LASK – the Bianconeri have barely scored 2 points and in the Austrian Bundesliga are coming off two defeats in a row – do not seem to be in question, but it is likely that even this time Fiorentina, who just won their eighth consecutive victory in the league (1-0 against Cagliari), will not be able to keep their goal unbroken: there will be no shortage of goals.
The predictions on the other matches
Eight finals already in the bag instead for Chelsea, which despite fielding reserves in this competition is showing embarrassing superiority. Four wins out of 4, 18 goals scored, only 3 conceded.
Enzo Maresca’s Blues, who are also running in the Premier League (they are second behind Liverpool) should have no problem getting rid of the modest Kazakhs of Astana in a match that will most likely end in a goleada. Legia Warsaw and Rapid Vienna are also likely to get positive results. The Poles, on full points like Chelsea, start favored with Lugano, while the Austrians, fourth on 10 points, should return with at least a point in their pockets from their Nicosia trip with Omonia. Favorable round for Belgian side Gent, which is behind schedule: no mistakes are allowed in the challenge with Serbian side Backa Topola, still in the running for a place in the top 24. Also hoping for qualification is APOEL Nicosia, which after its success over Fiorentina went on to win in Norway with Molde: the Cypriots can also do well at home to Noah. We close with Panathinaikos and Betis: the Greeks have been too up-and-down so far but will make the most of their higher quality in Wales with TNS, the Spaniards, on the other hand, should get back to winning ways against the Moldovans of Petrocub in a match of at least three goals total.
