The second-ever Europa Conference League final takes place at Fortuna Arena in Prague on Wednesday as Fiorentina takes on West Ham.

An intense atmosphere is expected at the comparatively small 20000 arena, and with everything on the line, we expect a dramatic occasion where both teams will feel confident about returning home with their first European trophy in over half a century.

Fiorentina vs West Ham Betting Tips - BTTS

Fiorentina´s only piece of European silverware was won all the way back in 1961 when they beat Atletico Madrid to claim the European Cup Winners' Cup. For West Ham, their only European success occurred some four years later when they also lifted the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965.

Now, some sixty years down the line, both teams will be desperate to end their long wait for a European trophy, and the bookies are struggling to split them with West Ham currently slight favourites to lift the trophy,

While both teams have endured fairly forgettable domestic league campaigns - Fiorentina finished eighth in Serie A while the Hammers struggled to a 14th-place finish in the PL - both have been excellent in this competition. 

Under the experienced stewardship of David Moyes, West Ham have won an impressive 13 of 14 UCL matches this season, with a draw at Gent their only blip in a superb unbeaten run. Likewise, Fiorentina have been strong in this event but has tasted defeat on three occasions during their run to the final in Prague.

Ultimately, this contest looks evenly balanced, and while some finals can be slow-burning affairs, we expect this fixture to catch fire with goals at both ends, looking like a solid betting option considering both teams' current form. Fiorentina have seen BTTS in 12 of their last 16 matches, including each of the last five, while they also saw the same outcome in eight of their previous 11 UCL games, also including each of the last five.

With the Hammers so strong in this competition, we expect a ding-dong final where goals, cards and plenty of drama should be expected. With that in mind, we´re backing both to score and once more, the likelihood of extra time and penalties being required seems high, with little to choose between these sides.
