Conference League semi-final, first leg, Thursday, 02.04.2024
Football fans should definitely get a second helping in the Conference League after tonight’s exciting matches in the top flight.
In my Fiorentina Bruges betting tip for the semi-final first leg in beautiful Tuscany, I can suggest a customized sports bet that looks very promising.
In any case, the odds, form and data mesh perfectly here
This is guaranteed to be a terribly exciting game. So exciting, in fact, that a first-leg draw could possibly pay off the most on the betting slip at the end of the game.
But one thing at a time: Both clubs have quite rightly progressed to the semi-finals of the Conference League. However, this is not surprising in the case of Florence, as they were last year’s finalists.
What speaks in favor of both teams, by the way, are the enormously strong performances from the past league weekend.
Fiorentina made national headlines with their 5:1 victory over Sassuolo, while on the other side of the continent, Brugge could soon become Belgian champions thanks to their 3:0 win over Genk
It’s a duel between two evenly matched teams! What the Viola have in terms of experience, the Belgians make up for with their outstanding form.
Bruges have won seven competitive matches in a row, two in the Conference League quarter-finals against PAOK and five in the league.
It should be noted that the Jupiler League has long been divided into championship and relegation groups.
As a result, FCB recently made big names such as Royale Union (2:1) and reigning champions Genk look pretty old with 4:0 and 3:0 respectively.
So watch out, because Brugge will travel to the cradle of the renaissance on Thursday in fantastic shape and with plenty of self-confidence
They will face a team that naturally benefits from home advantage, but is by no means unbeatable at the Artemio Franchi.
The two most recent Conference League matches played here, against Maccabi Haifa (1:1) and Viktoria Pilsen (0:0), were not won by the hosts in 90 minutes.
The last home win in the ECL was 2:1 against a Belgian club of all teams.
However, as already mentioned, Genk have recently suffered two clear defeats against Bruges. FCB are therefore certainly capable of more than their league rivals
In my opinion, the insights shared with you so far alone put you in an advantageous starting position for a profitable soccer bet.
Almost every sports betting app shows Fiorentina Bruges odds that clearly favor the home side – with average values of 1.85 to 4.20.
This is the first opportunity to profit from a supposed misjudgement by the bookmakers.
Because both the aforementioned away win bet and the double chance odds of 1.90 should be marked in red
A low-scoring game in which a 0:0 or 1:1 could light up on the scoreboard at the end is always an option for Fiorentina games that should be specifically marked for a result bet.
After all, four of the Viola’s last five ECL outings have ended with one of these two results, with only Maccabi Haifa in the first leg of the round of 16 seeing a significant program deviation (4:3) in this period.
And given the enormous respect that both teams have for each other, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was still 0-0 at the break at least
I’m expecting Fiorentina’s usual low-scoring first half. Although six goals were scored against Sassuolo at the weekend, only one of them came in the first half.
As a result, the score could still be 0-0 or at best 1-0 in favor of one of the two opponents at the break. However, in view of the odds, it is worth speculating that it will be the visitors
For my part, I’m not content with the double chance X2 odds alone – which are certainly not bad – but add “Under 1.5 goals before half-time” to this single bet.
This allows you to place a customized soccer bet that should be even closer to the “ideal line”, to use a term from motor racing jargon. After all, Formula 1 is also very popular with us!
Conclusion: The chances of a “surprise” are greater than the Viola winning as favorites. The same applies to a low-scoring first half compared to a high-scoring one!
Consequently, I’m taking advantage of the skewed odds on the markets to speculate on a match that the sports betting providers aren’t necessarily expecting on Thursday.
In my opinion, they are underestimating the playing abilities of the Belgians, who have just pulverized Genk, an opponent against whom Fiorentina struggled in the group stage.
My Fiorentina Brugge tip: DC X2 & Under 1.5 goals before half-time!
