But, that defeat started an impressive nine-game win streak in the Conference League. Sneaking past Twente in the competition’s playoff round, a 3-0 reverse to Istanbul Basaksehir in the group stage ultimately cost Fiorentina first place in their section. Whether they can do so is another matter. They are the only team left in the Europa League or Europa Conference League who can still win a domestic trophy this term. La Viola has two opportunities to change that over the next month. Fiorentina (10-2-2 in Europe this season)įiorentina is bidding to end a 22-year major trophy drought.
The stakes are much higher in this case, as a place in the Europa Conference League final is on the line. Seven years after their encounter in the 2015/16 Europa League group stage, Fiorentina and Basel will meet once more. In this preview, we take a look through each team’s continental performance this season, their domestic position, previous semifinals in Europe, and a prediction as to who will partake in the final in Prague. Trophies are hard to come by for most of the remaining teams, bringing even more significance to these last few games of the tournament. Two former UEFA Cup Winners Cup champions (Fiorentina and West Ham) are joined by established European sides (Basel and AZ Alkmaar). The final four of the second ever UEFA Europa Conference League is upon us. West Ham is undefeated in Europe this campaign and as a result the Hammers are on the verge of a spot in the Europa Conference League final.
