Fiorentina vs West Ham Preview
Europa Conference League Final, Wednesday, June 7th, 20:00 (UK)
This could be the end of an era for West Ham.
Following some regression this season, David Moyes’ days in the capital may be limited. The Scottish supremo shortened to odds on to replace Ange Postecoglou at Celtic on Tuesday.
The manager’s future is up in the air, it does seem very likely this will be the summer that Declan Rice moves onto pastures new.
The Hammers skipper is as short as 1.50 for a move to Arsenal, making this final in Prague his swansong.
He is expected to start alongside Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paquetá in central midfield, with Michail Antonio spearheading the attack and Alphonse Areola keeping his spot in between the sticks.
The French stopper will have his work cut out as he opposes the competition’s top goalscorers.
Fiorentina have found the net 36 times in this competition, nine more than second top goalscorers West Ham.
The Tuscan club have already lost three times in the UECL this campaign, finishing runners-up in their group.
As I write, there is little to split this side odds-wise, the neutral venue the leveller in a pick’em.

Fiorentina vs West Ham Bet Builder
If the Europa League final is anything to go off, this is going to be a turgid affair. That game did involve Jose Mourinho’s Roma, a manager who has forged a career of stingy tactics, and his side went a goal to the good.
Nevertheless, the majority of cup finals do seem to bring the worst out of teams. Often cagey affairs with little adventure defined by moments, often errors and sometimes brilliance.
The Hammers squad is laced with quality, real quality, yet I think it is fair to say their manager does not get the best out of them. At least he has not this season.
Moyes has deferred to type in the knockout stages, forging a path to Prague on defensive solidarity. His side have conceded just one goal in their three away fixtures.
In the knockout stages of the Europa League last season, four of West Ham’s six games saw under 2.5 goals click and this angle will make up the first leg of the bet builder.
Fiorentina did not give much away in the semis. Three goals conceded over the two legs against Basil may suggest otherwise but La Viola only conceded one ‘big chance’. In Serie A, Vincenzo Italiano’s side shipped 1.13 goals per game.
The original plan was to combine a lack of goals with a lack of cards but having seen who is officiating I am going to swerve that approach.
Spaniard Carlos del Cerro Grande has averaged 3.74 yellows per game, which is not spectacular, but dished out 0.41 red cards per game across the 27 he has overseen this campaign.
At 4.33, Nicolas Gonzalez’s price to be shown a card stands out.
The Argentine has emerged as a bit of a talisman, bagging four times over his last three appearances, including a brace in the second leg of the semis. Over that period he has been booked twice, taking his tally to six for the campaign.
- Under 2.5 Goals
- Nicolas Gonzalez Card
