Celje vs Fiorentina Predictions

• Fiorentina have won three of their last five
• Celje conceded the joint most goals of the teams that qualified from the League phase
• Fiorentina have reached the final two years in a row

Celje Hopefuls Host Fiorentina Firepower

Fiorentina travel to Slovenia to face Celje, who came through on penalties in the previous round. Having reached the final in the last two editions of the Conference League, Fiorentina know what it takes in this competition and will be hoping to make it three in a row—this time going one better and lifting the trophy.

They arrive in decent form, having won three of their last five matches. However, they did need to overcome a 3-2 first-leg defeat against Panathinaikos in the previous round. Celje are also in good form, having won their last four, but they will have their work cut out here as they face the third favourites for the tournament.

When tested against stronger opposition in the group stage, Celje struggled, and they only narrowly made it through with seven points. Of the 24 teams that qualified for the knockout rounds, they were joint-top for most goals conceded.

The Purples should have enough quality to dominate this match and come away with a win that puts them in a strong position to progress to the semi-finals. A 2-0 win would do exactly that, and that’s perfectly reasonable here.
