Lausanne vs Fiorentina Prediction & Betting Tips (18 December)

Everything started well for Lausanne in this Conference League with 2 successes against Breidablik 3-0 and against Hamrun Spartans 0-1. Unfortunately for them, the Swiss were unable to maintain this pace and they did not achieve the slightest victory during the following 3 days played against Omonia Nicosia 1-1, Lech Poznan defeated 2-0 and finally against Kups last week 0-0. Despite this bad series, the Helvetians remain in 16th position in the ranking with 2 points ahead of 25th. On the national scene, Lausanne occupies 8th place in the ranking with 4 points behind the first part of the table. Hung by Lugano 0-0, the locals go to the FC Basel field on Sunday.

For their part, Fiorentina is experiencing a particularly difficult exercise in the championship where they bring up the rear in the standings with only 6 points on the clock after 14 days. Dominated by Atalanta 2-0 and Sassuolo 3-1, the Florence players host Hellas Verona on Sunday in a very important duel in the fight for maintenance. On the other hand, in C4, the Viola shows itself in a better light and it occupies 11th place in the ranking with only one point behind the top 8. After dominating Sigma Olomouc 2-0 and Rapid Vienna 0-3, the Tuscans then suffered 2 defeats against Mainz 2-1 and AEK Athens 0-1 before relaunching last week against Dynamo kyiv 2-1. 

For Lausanne, midfielder Ethan Bruchez could still be missing, injured. Otherwise, it’s all hands on deck at the moment for the Swiss. Offensively, Canadian international Theo Bair (ex-Auxerre, 6 goals in the league) and Gaoussou Diakite (4 goals), who scored 2 goals in this league phase, are the best assets of this formation. We also find in this team the Mauritanian Bayatt Lekoueiry (4 goals, 1 assist in the championship) as well as the full-back passed by Guingamp Morgan Poaty.

On the Fio side, the starting defenders Gosens and Lamptey and replacement winger Sabiri will not make the relatively short trip to the shores of Lake Geneva. Absent last week against kyiv, the important midfielders Fazzini and Fagioli are not guaranteed to be able to hold their place this Thursday. Conversely, the offensive duo could still be made up of Kean (2 goals in SA) and Gudmundsson (2 goals in SA) who both scored last week against the Ukrainians.
