• All four of Polissya’s qulafying games have seen over 2.5 goals

Fiorentina bidding for another strong Conference League campaign

Ukrainian side Polissya Zhytomyr face Fiorentina in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League play-off. Fiorentina have enjoyed success in this competition in recent years, reaching the final twice, though they are yet to lift the trophy. They’ll be hoping to mount another serious challenge this season, but first must overcome Polissya Zhytomyr, who are aiming to qualify for the group stage for the first time.

Polissya have already come through two qualifying rounds and have been involved in some entertaining matches, with all four games seeing over 2.5 goals. Fiorentina, meanwhile, are yet to begin their domestic campaign, but four of their last five competitive away games have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Fiorentina are expected to find the net here, with Polissya having conceded twice in three of their last five outings. Given the Italian side’s attacking talent, the goalscoring chances are likely to come, and they should make them count.

Backing Fiorentina to win and over 2.5 goals looks the smart play. The visitors are more than capable of scoring three or more themselves.
