Fiorentina vs Sivasspor Prediction 09.03.2023

• Competition: UEFA Conference League
• Date: Thursday, 9th, March 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21.00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florenze)

The players of Viola managed to placement in the round of 16 of the UEFA Conference League without a drop of sweat, after demolishing Portuguese Braga 7-2 on aggregate. Fiorentina, who in the first game practically ensured passage to the next stage (they won 4-1 in "Quarry"), were not satisfied with that result, but beat Braga 3-2 in the second leg at their "Artemio Franchi", after reversals and confirmed their placement in the next phase of the third football club competition in Europe.

Meanwhile, Sivasspor was free in the first round of the UEFA Conference League knockout stage, as they finished their Group G in the leading position with 11 points and thus directly booked a place among the top 16 of this competition. The draw was evidently not in favor of the Turkish representative, since they got as an opponent one of the most serious candidates for lifting the trophy from this tournament, but there is no doubt that The Braves are ready to give the last atom of strength.

Fiorentina vs Sivasspor Betting Tips: Over 2.5

These two squads have never measured their strength until now, not even in friendly matches, so the clash at "Artemio Franchi" will be a kind of debut. When to that is added the tendency of coaches Vincenzo Italiano and Riza Calimbay toward attacking football, it is quite clear that an exciting and efficient meeting awaits us.

Fiorentina welcomes Turkish Sivasspor with a huge dose of optimism. During the weekend, the purple team extended the winning streak to three games, as they brought AC Milan to their knees at home, beating them 3-2. With such self-confidence of the hosts, it does not smell that the Turkish team will remember the visit to Florence well.

The attacking segment is one of the most responsible for the significant rise of Viola's form, since in the last five competitive games they score almost three goals per match. However, the back line is still the weaker side of the club from Tuscany, as they managed to register only one clean sheet in their courtyard, in 2023.

For Viola's rival, Sivasspor, roses are not blooming in this year's edition of the Turkish championship (only two points above the danger zone), but they are certainly not a team to be underestimated. However, after three consecutive triumphs without conceding a goal and emphasized signals of stabilization, The Braves made a weak overture before visiting Florence, losing in a seven-goal thriller - 3-4 against Karagumruk.

What we can notice is that The Braves adjusted their aiming devices at the right moment and in the best way ahead of the first leg of the round of 16 of the UEFA Conference League. Namely, Sivasspor packed at least two balls into the opponent's net in six of the previous eight games in all competitions.

An extremely motivated attacking zone and a rather unstable back line brought us a lot of goals and fun at the games of these teams. Fiorentina have seen over 2.5 goals in four of their last five, while 11 of Sivasspor's last 12 games have featured at least three goals. So, high-scoring is on the menu!
