Correct score prediction: Fiorentina 3-1 LASK Linz
It is worth noting that Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last five matches (4W, 1D), while the visitors have lost all of their last three games ahead of this Conference League skirmish. With Raffaele Palladino’s side looking to keep the good times coming after back-to-back wins in their turf in this competition, we expect the hosts to claim a comfortable win over LASK Linz, who are winless after four games in the league phase (D2, L2).
Pre-game odds and win probability: Fiorentina are overwhelming favourites
- HOME: 1/3 (1.33) – 75%
- DRAW: 4/1 (5.00) – 20%
- AWAY: 7/1 (8.00) – 12.5%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Fiorentina head into this continental clash in fine form, having strung together four wins and a draw in their five most recent games. Raffaele Palladino's side are in the top 8 of the Conference League after registering three wins and one loss in four matches of the league phase.
LASK Linz, meanwhile, arrive in their worst possible shape with three consecutive losses, and they are one of the few teams left without a win at this stage of the competition after four fixtures.
With the visitors currently in bad shape, it is no surprise that Fiorentina are the expected winners at 1/3 (1.33). Teams with these odds generally have a 75% probability of winning.

Player to watch: Moise Kean
