Club Brugge v Fiorentina Betting Tips [8 May 2024]

Club Brugge will be looking to overturn their Conference League loss to Fiorentina when they host the return leg of their semi-final. The two sides meet on Wednesday with Fiorentina leading 3-2 from the first leg. A brave fightback from Club Brugge in the first leg suffered a blow as they conceded a stoppage time goal to lose the game. That defeat would end their run of eight games unbeaten. However, the Belgians bounced back with a 2-1 win over Antwerp in the domestic league. They will thus be confident coming into this game, though Raphael Onyedika will miss out following his red card in Italy. Club Brugge have a fine record at home to bank on. In their last six home games, they posted straight wins, and scored at least three goals in five of them. They remain unbeaten in the Conference League at home, with six wins in eight. Five of the eight home games in this competition ended with over 2.5 goals as well.

Fiorentina could not make it three wins in a row coming into this game. They fell 2-1 to Verona in the latest match of their inconsistent season. The last time they had tasted defeat before that, they got eliminated from the Coppa Italia. Here, the Italians will be hoping to avoid another elimination. All they have to do is fight for a draw at the least. It will be a tough ask for the Italians, given their inconsistent campaign and poor away run. In their last 12 away matches, Fiorentina managed just two wins, and lost seven times. They will head into this game straight from two away defeats, while they failed to score in two of five away games. Though they have just one away loss in the Conference League, they managed just two wins in six. Four clean sheets only in 16 away matches ahead of this game will not be enough to boost their confidence either. This is in line with the fact they are facing a side in really good scoring form at home.

Club Brugge have the chance to overturn their defeat in Italy. A consistent run at home and a good return in attack will be key ingredients for them here. They face a Fiorentina side struggling on the road and dogged by an inconsistent campaign. Our prediction for Club Brugge v Fiorentina is for Club Brugge to win and the game to have over 2.5 goals.
