Fiorentina vs Club Brugge Predictions

• Four of Fiorentina’s last five Europa Conference League games have featured fewer than three goals.
• Both of Club Brugge’s quarter-final legs went under 2.5 goals.
• Fiorentina have drawn four of their last five in this competition.

Cagey affair expected in Florence

Fiorentina required extra time to beat Viktoria Plzen after two goalless meetings in the quarter-finals and another cagey affair could be on the cards when Club Brugge visit Florence.

Last year’s Europa Conference League runners-up have drawn four of their last five games in this competition and all four of those stalemates have featured fewer than three goals.

Club Brugge’s quarter-final against PAOK was a low-scoring tie, too, with the Belgian side winning 1-0 at home and 2-0 in Athens. They are likely to be cautious against a strong Fiorentina outfit, so we could be in for a tight game on Thursday.

I’m backing under 2.5 goals, while the fact that four of Fiorentina’s last five games in this competition have ended all square steers me in that direction, too. Two of these four draws have ended 1-1, so that looks like a reasonable correct score prediction.
