Olympiacos Piraeus vs Fiorentina Prediction & Betting Tips (29 May)

It's a real earthquake in this Conference which sees the Greek club Olympiakos led by a thunderous El Kaabi 5 goals against Aston Villa in the semi-final of the 2 matches playing this final, the 1st in its history on the European scene. In the previous round, the 47 times Greek champion took the scalp of the main favorite Aston Villa and loser of LOSC in passing by winning both matches, victory 2-4 in the first leg at Villa Park and victory 2-0 in the return in Piraeus. In the 1/4 final, Piraeus had already got rid of a favorite, Fenerbahce after the penalties. Now let's talk about the national championship since Olympiakos would still be competing for the title with three days remaining. Unfortunately for them, José Luis Mendilibar's men failed to win a new title, finishing in 3rd position in the Greek Super League behind PAOK Salonika and AEK Athens. Defeated by PAOK precisely 2-0, they were then able to dominate AEK Athens 2-0 before finishing with a final draw against Panathinaikos 2-2, 10 days ago. Back-to-back for the Viola who was already present last year at the same stage of the competition where it was defeated by West Ham 1-2 in the final.

This season, it is clear that Fiorentina does not want to lose again and they want to bring their first European Cup home after losing finals in the 1957 Champions League and the 1990 Europa League, otherwise known as the "UEFA Cup". 'era. In the semi-final, Jonathan Ikoné's teammates were opposed to the fiery Belgian team of Club Bruges and they won after making the difference in the first leg at home victory 3-2 in Italy, draw: 1-1 in Belgium. In Serie A, the players from Florence were only able to take 8th place in the ranking and they should not be European next year unless they win this final. In the league, they remained on a narrow victory obtained against Monza 2-1 before taking a point against Naples 2-2. Next Saturday, they will challenge Cagliari again.

There are a bunch of players not on the list of players authorized to play this final. We find there the former Parisian Fadiga, Leidner, Fran Navarro (5 goals in the league, loaned by Porto for the 2nd half of the season), Biancone, Gelson Martins (ex-Monaco), Abbey and the former resident of Valencia or even from Levante, Ruben Vezo (arrived during the season). Among the players eligible to participate in this final, only Ortega (3 assists in the championship) is injured at the moment. Mr. El Kaabi, Moroccan international, 30 years old, literally destroyed the competition in this competition with a total of 10 goals including 5 in the semi-final in the 2 matches (treble in the first leg at Villa Park, double in the return on Emiliano Martinez) . He is the main asset of this team and is also the joint top scorer in the Greek championship with 18 goals.

But let's not forget to mention the presence of Podence (on loan for the season from Wolverhampton, 11 goals, 6 assists in the league), Greek international Masouras (7 goals, 4 assists in the league) and his non-compatriot international Fortounis (6 goals, 6 caviars in the league), author of 2 goals and 3 assists in the competition. The only absentee from the return match against Bruges, Sottil (2 goals, 3 assists in SA), absent for a long time, will be absent for this final while Castrovilli is not registered to play the competition. For the rest, the group will be complete with boys like Bonaventura (7 goals, 3 assists in SA), Nicolas Gonzalez (10 pawns, 2 assists in SA) or Beltran (6 goals, 2 goals), author of the goal of qualification for the semi-final in Bruges. Authors of 3 goals each in the competition, Nzola, Ranieri and Barak (2 goals each in the league) will probably be registered on the scoresheet.
