Olympiacos vs Fiorentina Player Focus

The tactical battle in midfield will be instrumental in shaping the destination of this final. However, the battle will be crucial for two different reasons for the two sides. While Fiorentina will look to dominate possession, Olympiacos will look to be compact, solid and devastating on the break. 

For this reason, El Kaabi will be a crucial player for Olympiacos. He will lead the line, look to occupy the center-backs and keep them busy, hold up the ball, and bring others into play. He will also be expected to be clinical capitalize on the chances they create.

Fiorentina’s Bonaventura and Mandragora will be essential in setting the tempo and pace of the match. Free football predictions indicate that these two midfielders will manage possession, initiate attacks with their passing, and step up to compress the pitch during pressing and counter-pressing. Their energy will be pivotal for the Viola.

The match will ebb and flow between Fiorentina’s control and Olympiacos’ lightning-fast transitions.

Olympiacos vs Fiorentina Tactical Analysis

Olympiacos is expected to line up with Tzolakis, Rodinei, Retsos, David Carmo, Ortega, Chiquinho, Iborra, Hezze, Podence, El Kaabi, and Fortounis.

With this XI, football bet predictions lean towards Olympiacos retaining their 4-2-3-1 shape, which will morph into a 4-3-3 variant during the match, depending on whether they have possession or are out of it. They will be compact in their approach and look to attack in transitions with speed.

Fiorentina is widely expected to line up with Terracciano, Dodo, Martinez Quarta, Milenkovic, Biraghi, Mandaragora, Bonaventura, Gonzalez, Beltran, Kouame, and Belotti.

Although Sottil is out with a shoulder injury, Fiorentina will retain their frequently used 4-2-3-1 shape and tactical set-up this season. The two midfielders will sit deep and offer a base from which they will build their dominance of possession and set the tempo and pace of the match.

Olympiacos vs. Fiorentina Betting Tip

• Football Pick: Both Teams to Score

• Odds: 1.9 (22bet)

Olympiacos failed to win the domestic league season for the 48th time in a disappointing outing by their usual standards. However, history will not be against them as they make their first appearance in a European final.

Football prediction analysis shows that Mendilbar’s men are in uncharted territory as they play Fiorentina, a stone’s throw away from their Piraeus home in Athens, giving them a psychological edge as the home team. A win for Olympiacos will make them the first Greek club to win a European trophy at the senior level.

The Viola are back in the Europa Conference League final 12 months after their last attempt ended in disappointment. They will be motivated to make amends and rectify mistakes from last year’s final.

Expert soccer predictions indicate that the Italians will need to be at their best to overcome an Olympiacos side that has demonstrated a knack for giant slaying, having eliminated the likes of Aston Villa and Fenerbahçe. The Viola will need the very best of their speed, offensive play, and skills to overcome Olympiacos.

Fiorentina will have too much for Olympiacos, they will win the Europa Conference League at the second time of asking.
