Fiorentina vs Crystal Palace Head to Head (H2H) stats

Crystal Palace
3 : 0
Fiorentina
Europa Conference League
The first leg of the Quarter-Finals is their only H2H game in history. It was a pretty one-sided match where Crystal Palace deservedly won 3:0. The Eagles had seven "Big chances" whilst Fiorentina had zero! The difference in xG (3.05 vs 0.45) sums just how much better the English team was.
Fiorentina team overview
Fiorentina have been atrocious this season in Serie A, spending almost the entire season in the danger zone. However, they started playing better from around early February and moved upwards on the league table. At the moment, Viola are in 15th place with 35 points, a comfortable eight points away from the relegation zone.
It was a truly embarrassing first part of the season, and their only way of securing Europe next season is through the Conference League. Unfortunately, after losing 3:0 in the first leg, Viola will need a miracle to achieve it.
The team's starting right full-back, Dodo, is unavailable due to the accumulation of yellow cards. The 27-year-old has been one of their best players this season, and his absence is a massive problem for Viola. Moreover, Niccolo Fortini, Moise Kean, and Tariq Lamptey should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Crystal Palace team overview
Crystal Palace have had a historic last season, winning the FA Cup and securing their first-ever major trophy. However, in the Premier League, they have been a mid-table team for over a decade, and that hasn't changed this year either. The popular Eagles are in 13th place with 42 points from 31 matches - 12 points away from the danger zone and only five away from seventh place, which could mean Europe next season.
So, the Eagles could secure it via league finish, but they are also among the primary candidates for the Conference League title and could clinch it by winning the competition. At the moment, the bookies are offering odds around 2.25 for them to win the title!
Evann Guessand suffered an injury in the previous game against Fiorentina and will most likely miss three or four weeks. Moreover, Eddie Nketiah and Cheick Doucoure should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Prediction
Fiorentina totally crumbled in their match against Crystal Palace in England, but they have had some nice performances lately. In the past seven games across competitions, they have only failed to score against Crystal Palace, but have scored against teams like Lazio and even Inter! Also, Viola have scored at least one goal in 20 out of 23 games across competitions - 87%.
Crystal Palace aren't among the best offensive teams, but have scored five goals in back-to-back games against Fiorentina and Newcastle, and can definitely be satisfied with their offensive output. Moreover, on the road, we saw both teams scoring in seven of the past eight games across competition - 87%.
Considering all the above, we believe that both teams will score at least once in this Conference League tie.
3 Reasons why both teams should score
- Fiorentina scored at least once in six of the past seven games
- Fiorentina scored in 20 out of 23 home games this season
- Crystal Palace scored five goals in the previous two games
