Fiorentina vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League

There will be high expectations of 25-year-old striker Arthur Cabral in the Conference League final. The Fiorentina number nine is the leading scorer in the competition, racking up seven goals in 13 appearances. The Italians have a number of goal-scoring threats in addition to their Brazilian centre-forward. Luka Jovic has six goals to his name, wide-forward Nico Gonzalez has struck for five and midfielder Antonin Barak has also netted five in this competition alone. West Ham will also have to find a way to limit the delivery of left-back and captain Cristiano Biraghi. The 30-year-old is leading the Conference League with six assists in 13 appearances for an average of 0.46 per game. Manager Vincenzo Italiano likely had his heart in his throat in the team's final Serie A fixture when he saw key players Gonzalez and Castrovilli both suffer potential injuries. Italiano would receive good news post-match as both players look to be fit for Wednesday's final. Reserve goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu is the only absentee for Fiorentina. 

West Ham have the rest advantage coming into this final as the Premier League ended a week earlier than the Serie A. The team should be well-rested ahead of this match and manager David Moyes has an almost fully healthy squad to choose from. The only absence is striker Gianluca Scamacca who is on the long-term injury list. Declan Rice will lead out the Irons in what is widely considered to be his final game at the club. The danger man for Fiorentina to focus on is striker Michail Antonio, who has netted six goals in only eight Conference League appearances. Expect winger Jarrod Bowen to have an impact on the game as well. The 26-year-old Englishman has four goals and has chipped in two assists in 10 appearances so far in this tournament.
