Betting on Fiorentina
Fiorentina failed to beat Napoli in its most recent game and could not take advantage that the champions of the Serie A were no longer fighting for anything. The local team must get back on track quickly and try to give a good performance in this tournament, after performing well in quarterfinals, beating Lech Poznan 6-4 (aggregate).
However, the series of bad results they have been stringing together is a wake-up call. To make matters worse, the local team is heading into this series with just one win in their last seven matches in all competitions, and this victory was against a weak opponent like Sampdoria.
At least at home their record improve considerably, being unbeaten in nine of the 10 most recent matches taking into account all competitions.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Pietro Terracciano; Dodo, Nikola Milenkovic, Igor, Aleksa Terzic; Sofyan Amrabat, Alfred Duncan; Nicolas Gonzalez, Giacomo Bonaventura, Riccardo Sottil; Luka Jovic.
Betting on FC Basel
FC Basel had two much more intense and hard-fought quarter-final matches than their Italian opponents on this occasion, but still managed to reach a stage where there is no margin for error. They must face this new challenge after being defeated in their last game in the domestic league, a competition in which they occupy fifth place in the overall standings.
If we look at their recent away record, they have a good chance of getting a positive result in this game. This is because they haven’t lost any of their last four away matches.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Marwin Hitz; Michael Lang, Kasim Adams, Sergio Lopez; Dan Ndoye, Taulant Xhaka, Wouter Burger, Liam Millar; Darian Males, Zeki Amdouni; Andi Zeqiri.
JefeBet Prediction
These teams have already seen action against each other in the Europa League group stage in 2015, when FC Basel went undefeated in both matches, drawing at home and winning 1-2 away.
However, much may have changed since then so, with the good level shown by the Italian side in this tournament, Fiorentina are expected to take the upper hand in the series on Thursday.
Prediction: Fiorentina Moneyline (FIO 2-1 BAS).
