Fiorentina vs Lech Poznan Betting Tips

It’s a critical time for Europa League group stage action. In group I, FC Basel have won both of their games to top the group, while Fiorentina need to win a second game to establish themselves as favourites to advance to the knockout stages of the competition.

Fiorentina are currently in first place in Serie A. They dominated their last game in the Europa League thrashing Portuguese side Belenenses 4-0. However, they did suffer a surprise home defeat against FC Basel in their opening game.

This is a squad with exciting attacking talent, they’ve got lots of quality in their midfield and they create a lot of chances. Fiorentina have established themselves as a serious title contender in the Italian domestic competition and they’ll look to progress deep into this competition.

Lech Poznan were always likely to be minnows in this group. They earned an opening game 0-0 draw with Belenenses and they do have a rigid defensive structure. However, it’s tough to see them competing with Fiorentina.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Lack of goal-scoring from Lech Poznan

The Czech side don’t have a lot of attacking pedigree, we don’t fancy them to score a lot of goals. That almost certainly sets up a good chance for Fiorentina to break the Asian Handicap.

2. Asian Handicap odds

Fiorentina are heavily favoured, which twists the odds. The Asian Handicap is the best betting opportunity in terms of providing a good return on a stake.

3. Fiorentina bounce back

They endured a disappointing weekend defeat to Napoli and we expect Fiorentina to pull out a big victory after that frustration.
