Fiorentina vs West Ham Prediction | Conference League Tips
Fiorentina vs West Ham Latest Info
Both clubs haven’t had much international success in their history. The most notable victory for both clubs is winning the Cup Winner’s Cup once in the past. Fiorentina won it back in 1960/61, while West Ham got the 1964/65 season trophy. However, the Hammers also have the 1999 Intertoto Cup title in their trophy cabinet, making them slightly more successful in Europa than Fiorentina.
Interestingly enough, lifting the Conference League trophy would be a saving grace for both teams. Their domestic seasons haven’t gone according to plan, making this final the pinnacle of their season and probably the most important matchup.
After finishing 7th last season, Fiorentina is not in the middle of the table with not a lot of chances to qualify for Europe. On the other hand, West Ham United has been involved in a relegation battle for much of the season. They will get to stay up and compete in the Premier League next season, but it still leaves a bitter taste in their mouths.
