ACF Fiorentina vs Real Betis Prediction 8 May 2025
Added on 07 May, 2025
Fiorentina and Real Betis are set to clash in the return leg of the UEFA Conference League semifinals, with the Spaniards holding a narrow 2-1 advantage from the first match.
The tie remains finely balanced, and both sides will believe they have a real shot at reaching the final.
Fiorentina come into this game on the back of a disappointing 0-1 defeat to Roma in Serie A, a result that dents their domestic hopes of qualifying for Europe next season. However, Vincenzo Italiano's side could still make history by reaching the Conference League final for the third consecutive year. Along the way, La Viola showed grit, narrowly overcoming Panathinaikos (2:3, 3:1) and surviving a tight encounter with Celje (2:1, 2:2).
Real Betis, meanwhile, arrive in Florence in stronger overall form. They comfortably handled their playoff opposition—crushing Gent (3:0, 0:1), dispatching Guimarães (2:2, 4:0), and easing past Jagiellonia (2:0, 1:1). They also maintain momentum in La Liga, sitting sixth after a recent 2-1 win over Espanyol, keeping their Champions League hopes alive.
Both teams have proven more convincing on home turf, and Fiorentina will hope to draw strength from their crowd at the Artemio Franchi. Still, Betis possess the composure and experience to manage their slim lead. It’s a clash of evenly matched sides, and while Fiorentina have the tools to mount a comeback, the Spanish outfit’s resilience could be enough to see them through to the final.
