West Ham United take on Fiorentina in the final of the 2022/23 Europa Conference League. The two clubs battle it out in Prague on Wednesday June 7th and it promises to be an exciting game. West Ham United have had a strange season and only in the last few weeks saved themselves from relegation. The Irons finished in 14th place, 21 points behind the European places but only six above the relegation zone. Yet here they are in the Europa Conference League final. They have made it to Prague without losing a single one of their 14 matches. Of those games, only the away quarter final match in Gent saw them not win. 13 wins and a draw would have earned them the same number of points as they managed in the Premier League from 38 matches. Three of their last five games have seen both teams get on the scoresheet. In the Europa Conference League three of the last four games played by the Hammers have seen both teams score.
Fiorentina ended their Serie A season on Sunday. That's a week after West Ham completed their Premier League fixture list. The Serie A side won three of their last four games to end in eighth place. That saw them miss out on European qualification by six points. This is their second cup final of the season having already been beaten by Inter in the Coppa Italia. Like their opponents, Fiorentina have to win this match to be in European competition next season. Some sides struggle on their travels but that's not been the case in recent matches in this competition for Fiorentina. They have won their last six away fixtures and scored 21 goals in the process. Their last five Europa Conference League matches have all seen both teams score. We go for that stat to come up again in this final.
