Fiorentina vs Puskas Academy Prediction & Betting Tips (22 August)

Double reigning finalist of this Europa Conference League, Fiorentina nevertheless thought they would take their revenge from two years ago last year by facing the respectable team of Olympiakos but ultimately, the result was the same with a defeat. Before thinking about a 3rd heroic campaign, the Viola must win and to qualify by defeating the Hungarians. Note that Serie A resumed its rights last weekend and Fio, reduced to ten against eleven at the end of the match against the promoted and champion of SB, Parma, managed to bring back 1 point 1-1. Note that this summer, in 8 friendly matches, the Italians have lost only one for a record of four victories and three draws. Opposite, the Puskas Academy had to participate in two qualifying rounds before arriving at this stage of the playoffs.

During the 2nd round, the Hungarian team qualified without playing a single minute following a withdrawal from the Ukrainians of Dnipro. In the 3rd round, no withdrawal from the Armenians of Ararat-Armenia but a victory in the away match which made all the difference 0-1 since on the return, in a prolific match, the Academy did the job by not losing 3-3. Since April 26, the Hungarians have not lost a match in all competitions and they are leaders of D1 with 4 victories in 4 days. Last weekend, they took over MTK Budapest without necessarily shining offensively 1-0.

Fio was missing people for the resumption of the championship last weekend, including scorer Nicolas Gonzalez (12 goals last year), Icelandic recruit Gudmundsson (on loan from Genoa for the season) and replacement goalkeeper Christensen (hurt). A priori, no return this evening for any of the players mentioned. To discuss the transfer window of the Florence club, the important midfielders Bonaventura and Castrovilli left the club (free) while the midfielders Lopez (Sassuolo) and Arthur Melo (Juventus) were not retained (end of loan), not more than striker Belotti (Roma). Nzola (3 goals, 3 assists in SA) recently joined Lens via loan. In the opposite direction, Argentine defender Valentini (Boca Juniors), midfielder Amir Richardson (Reims) and striker Moïse Kean (Juventus) came to strengthen the ranks.

It was the left wing-back Biraghi who saved the furniture in Parma. The Puskas Academy should a priori make this trip in full force with the strong men who make it up. In this case, Colley, Levi and Plsek (2 goals each in 4 days of the championship) without forgetting the playmaker Nagy (1 goal, 3 assists), author of 2 goals in these qualifiers. Author of 7 goals and 5 assists in the league last season, Komaromi should also be there.
