Fiorentina vs Maccabi Haifa Prediction & Betting Tips (14 March)

Fiorentina took a big step towards qualifying for the quarter-finals of this Europa Conference League by winning away against Maccabi Haifa 3-4. La Viola, so impressive in Europe under Artemio Franchi, should win for the second time in a row against the Israeli club after successes against Rapid Vienne 2-0, Cukaricki 6-0 and Genk 2-1 then 1 draw against Ferencvaros 2-2. Italiano's team has not conceded a defeat for a month and the latter remains with successes at home against Frosinone 5-1 and against Lazio Rome 2-1 then in a draw against Roma 2-2 on the weekend -last end.

The defeat in the first leg against the Viola will have left its mark in the minds of Pierrot's partners who lost again last weekend at Maccabi Bnei Raina 2-1. Dego's players did not shine away on the European scene, conceding 1 heavy loss to Rennes 3-0 then 2 draws on the lawns of Villarreal 0-0 and La Gantoise 1-1 during their 4 trips Europeans.

African champion with Ivory Coast, Kouamé is announced ill and could miss the call. Ditto for the replacement goalkeeper, Christensen who remains injured while the third player absent in the first leg, Quarta (4 goals in 21 appearances in SA this season) made his return to the match sheet in the league against Roma. Scorer in the first leg, Mandragora (3 goals, 2 assists in SA) continued in the league against Rome. The latter will probably be on the scoresheet this evening like Bonaventura (7 goals, 2 assists), Gonzalez (7 pawns, 2 cakes) without forgetting Beltran (also scorer in the first leg, 3 pawns in the Conference League). Opposite, Maccabi will therefore be deprived of the Angolan international, Show (excluded in the first leg). Conversely, Sundgren (16 appearances in the league) could return from suspension.

However, it is important to remember that seven players missed the first round due to injury. In this case, David (11 goals in the league), the important midfielder, Hajaj (3 goals, 3 assists in the league), Haziza (2 goals, 2 assists last year), Jaber (important in the rotation) without forgetting to mention Menahem (absent for ages) and the German striker, Shuranov (injured for weeks). Finally, only Hemed (who arrived from Hapoel Beer Sheva this winter) returned to competition last weekend in the championship (probably sidelined in the European Cup). We were expecting the former resident of Guingamp, Pierrot (14 goals in the league) but ultimately it was Seck (central defender Titu), Kinda (2 goals, 3 assists in the elite) and the young 19-year-old talent, Khalaili (6 pawns, 5 pancakes in the championship) who scored.
