Real Betis is set to take on Fiorentina in the second leg of their Conference League semi-final with a strong edge, having secured a 2-1 victory in the first leg. Betis, boasting impressive form with just one loss since late February, aims to maintain this success. Fiorentina, despite being undefeated in most home fixtures, needs to overcome Betis's consistent performance. The expectation is a likely draw, allowing Betis to advance. Key prospects include BTTS and a close-scoring match.

Head to Head


Real Betis and Fiorentina met for the first time last week, Betis winning 2-1 in Sevilla.

Fiorentina Form


Fiorentina recently went nine games unbeaten, the run including home wins against Juventus and Atalanta.

Raffaele Palladino’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat at Real Betis in the Conference League semi-final first leg last week. They were 2-0 down when Luca Ranieri scored to get them back into the contest in the 73rd minute.

I Viola returned to Serie A with a narrow 1-0 loss at Roma. They had 59% possession in the Italian capital but couldn’t beat an inspired Mile Svilar.

Real Betis Form


Real Betis have lost once since late February and are coming off four consecutive victories. Johnny Cardoso, Antony and Isco scored in a convincing 3-1 win at Girona, Isco on target again in a 5-1 win against Real Valladolid.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side maintained the momentum in the Conference League semi-finals last week. Abde Ezzalzouli and Antony scored to establish a 2-0 lead against Fiorentina, allowing the Italian club back into the tie late on.

Betis secured a dramatic 2-1 win at Espanyol on Sunday. Down 1-0 in the 85th minute, Giovani Lo Celso equalised and Antony found the net in added time.

Verdict

Real Betis beat Fiorentina 2-1 in Sevilla and will be more than content with a draw in Florence. I am expecting a draw in the second leg.
