Real Betis vs Fiorentina Prediction 01.05.2025 | UEFA Conference League

• Competition: UEFA Conference League - Semi-Finals 1st leg
• Date: Thursday, 1st, May 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21.00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla)

Looking to gain the upper hand before next week's trip to Tuscany, Real Betis will host Fiorentina at the Benito Villamarin in Thursday's Conference League semifinal clash.

Real Betis have historically featured in all major UEFA competitions without making a lasting impression, but their convincing two-legged success against Jagiellonia (3-1) broke that trend and sealed a landmark European semifinal berth for the first time in their club’s timeline.

The LaLiga outfit are bracing for a stern semi-final showdown as they come up against none other than Fiorentina, a side that has reached back-to-back UEFA Conference League finals only to fall short on both occasions, although they’ll be determined to rewrite the script this time around.

Unlike the other semifinal clash where Chelsea are expected to breeze past surprise-package Djurgarden, this encounter between Betis and La Viola is wide open and there’s no doubt we’re in for a fierce showdown with a spot in the grand finale hanging in the balance. With an abundance of attacking flair on both sides, it’s hard to imagine a dull affair, so we anticipate that both teams will come out with sharpened blades in the final third looking to ripple the net in what promises to be an entertaining clash. 

Over the weekend, Real Betis lit up the Benito Villamarin with a scintillating attacking display as they ran riot in a 5-1 demolition of Real Valladolid, effectively sealing their visitors’ relegation from the Spanish top flight. Despite boasting serious firepower and a ruthless edge in front of goal, Los Verdiblancos have struggled to stay watertight at the back on the continental stage, managing to register just two clean sheets across their last six home appearances in Europe. That means the LaLiga outfit will face a real defensive examination from Fiorentina who not only boast an impressive track record in this competition but have also shown sharp attacking teeth on recent travels, having found the net at least twice in five consecutive away fixtures across all competitions. 

Defensive lapses have been a recurring nightmare for Viola away from home, as they’ve leaked goals in every one of their past 11 travels, and it’s hard to envision them tightening things up against a Betis side brimming with offensive flair. All in all, we’re inclined to believe that this contest has the makings of a free-flowing spectacle filled with end-to-end action and a steady stream of goalmouth opportunities, where we hope both sides will find the composure to turn chances into goals and treat the Benito Villamarin crowd to a thrilling evening.
