Looking to bounce back from a surprise lack of goals in Norway on Sunday, Thursday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me focus on the European semi-finals, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the ties.
⚽️ Fiorentina vs Real Betis (1-2 Aggregate)
🇪🇺 Conference League
⏰ Thursday 8 May, 20:00
Fiorentina and Real Betis do battle for a place in the Conference League final on Thursday night in the second leg of their semi-final at the Artemio Franchi in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.
Raffaele Palladino’s hosts have scored 32 goals across their opening 13 matches in Europe this season, with 20 (63%) of them coming in front of their supporters.
La Viola have found the back of the net in all 13 (100%) of their Conference League contests this campaign, notching on multiple occasions in nine (69%) of them – including in all six (100%) on home soil – and will aim to breach a Betis backline that has kept just one clean sheet across their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Manuel Pellegrini’s visitors have fired in 43 goals across their previous 20 matches in all competitions, with 21 (49%) of those coming away from home.
Los Verdiblancos have only failed to score in just one of their previous 23 matches in all competitions – notching on multiple occasions in 15 of their last 20 – and will look to trouble a Fiorentina defence that’s kept just two clean sheets in Europe this season, with those coming in their 7-0 thrashing of LASK and also against TNS in the league phase.
Bet of the Day
Fiorentina’s opening 13 Conference League contests this campaign have averaged an eye-catching 4.00 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals in 10 (77%) of them, including in nine of their last 10.
Real Betis’s previous 20 matches in all competitions have averaged 3.20 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in an impressive 15 (75%) of them – including seven of their past nine away from home – and I’m expecting the goals to flow in Florence between these two sides on Thursday night.
- Over 2.5 Goals
- Pays 1/1 (Betfred)
