Puskas FC Academy vs Fiorentina Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals

An enthralling first-leg saw Puskas Academy claim a shock 3:3 draw in a remarkable contest in Florence. After the Hungarians raced into an early two-goal lead, a thrilling fightback looked to have secured a 3:2 first-leg win for the Viola. 

However, a dramatic intervention from Wojciech Golla in the 89th minute secured a well-earned draw for the visitors.

Beaten finalists in successive Conference League finals over the past two years, it would come as a massive surprise if the Italians were to bow out of the competition before the group stage. 

Still Puskas showed in the first-leg that they are more than capable of competing with their illustrious Italian counterparts, and having won seven of their last nine matches across all competitions, cannot be discounted, particularly with home advantage.

While usually reliable in this competition, goals can be expected when Fiorentina are in action. Seven of their last ten Conference League games saw BTTS, while ten of their last 11 away games saw the same outcome. 

Puskas FC will certainly feel optimistic of their chances on Thursday, and the hosts come into the contest in superb recent form. The Hungarians are unbeaten in their last 15 matches, while they have scored exactly three goals in four of their last five Conference League games. 

Considering the entertaining nature of the first-leg, another high-scoring contest seems likely on Thursday. With that in mind, I'm putting my money on BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored at the Puskás Akadémia Pancho Aréna.
