Fiorentina take on West Ham United in the final match of UEFA Conference League. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 7th at Fortuna Arena (Prague).
Fiorentina are finishing their second season under Italiano's leadership. Vincenzo keeps the fans entertained, giving them new reasons for pride and joy. Initially, under his guidance, they managed to return to European competitions - a year ago, they finished in 7th place, despite succumbing to the temptation of selling Dusan Vlahovic to Juventus in January. In the current cycle, their position in Serie A has slightly diminished - this time, unlike the previous season's Atalanta, none of the usual favorites faltered. Therefore, their ambitions had to be shown in the cup, where the Viola squad reached the final but was defeated by Inter. Now they have another chance in the Conference League. Overall, the Italians have looked stable and worthy in that competition. However, there was a semifinal against Basel, with a 1-2 defeat at home, a victory with the same score in Switzerland, and the deciding goal in nearly the 130th minute, just when everyone was preparing for a penalty shootout.

West Ham have long been ambitious. However, Moyes this time came to the post as a firefighter to prevent relegation to the Championship and to deal with the problems that had accumulated under his predecessor, Pellegrini. Then they simply didn't dare to dismiss the experienced manager, which proved to be justified in terms of their survival objectives. They were waiting for a reason, a setback - but instead, David almost secured 4th place in the Premier League in his very first full season. Then the results of the London club declined, leading to a battle for survival in the Premier League, which occupied the lion's share of this season. Only in the second half of spring did they manage to improve and, winning a series of matches, finally secure themselves from relegation to the Championship. However, in the Conference League, starting from the summer qualifiers just like Fiorentina, the English team won all their matches, with the only exception being a draw against Gent in the quarterfinals. But even there, they convincingly defeated the Belgians at home and then deservedly won against AZ in the semifinals.
There have been no previous meetings between the two teams, not even in a friendly format. The Italians and the English will face each other for the first time in Prague, Czech Republic. The pair is considered almost evenly matched in terms of strength and, therefore, chances of success. However, West Ham has appeared more solid and confident in the tournament. We bet that the Hammers will win with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: West Ham United to win with 0.0 handicap.
