Conference League 2024-2025: Fiorentina-Betis, the likely lineups

F Fiorentina finds itself forced to come back from the first leg result, 2-1 in favor of Betis, to access the final to be played at the Stadion wroclaw in Wroclaw (Poland). The city of Florence dreams of yet another final: in the last 3 years, in fact, the viola has reached 2 Conference League finals and a Coppa Italia final, all 3, however, lost. Fiorentina is eager to bring back to the city a trophy, which has been missing for 24 years now. The Viola come to the challenge against the Spaniards after losing in the league away to Roma 1-0.

Betis, on the other hand, arrive at the return leg of the Conference semifinal after beating Espanyol 2-1 away in La Liga.

In goal for Fiorentina there will be room for the usual De Gea, the defensive trio could be formed by Ranieri, Comuzzo and Pongracic, and then move on to the midfield line where Parisi, Mandragora, Fagioli, Cataldi and Gosens should find a starting shirt. In support of Kean, space for Gudmundsson.

Manuel Pellegrini, on the other hand, should reconfirm almost the same 11 from the first leg, which allowed him to win the first act of this European semifinal. If they usually say team that wins does not change, Betis does not believe it, a few players compared to the first leg will change. So surprise move by Betis, which, among the changes compared to the first leg will probably change just the attacking trio that put on a show, formed by Antony, Bakambu and Ezzalzouli.
