Fiorentina vs West Ham predicted lineups
Gonzalez and Castrovilli are the only Fiorentina doubts
There are doubts surrounding the participation of Nico Gonzalez and Gaetano Castrovilli for Fiorentina. The former collided with a goalpost at the weekend although is expected to be fine. There is much more uncertainty surrounding midfielder Castrovilli who has a knee problem. He is not a guaranteed starter anyway and likely to be benched for this encounter. La Viola should lineup in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Arthur Cabral spearheading their attack.
West Ham squad in very healthy condition
West Ham have a clean bill of health apart from the long term injury to striker Gianluca Scamacca. David Moyes has everyone else available, and the West Ham XI is fairly predictable in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation. Defence is probably the only area where there could be a surprise but both Aaron Cresswell and Vladimir Coufal should be in the side. This could be Declan Rice’s last game for the club and the Hammers captain will want to go out with a bang.
Fiorentina vs West Ham team stats
Corners and cards plentiful in Fiorentina matches
The Italian outfit have been crushing the Conference League this season averaging a whopping 2.38 goals per game. This correlates very closely to their xG numbers and at the other end their average xGA per match is just 0.95. La Viola have fired in a huge 18.14 shots per game with nearly 7 on target. The opposition have only mustered 2.37 shots on target against them in each fixture.
Fiorentina average many corners (7.13) and conceded only 2.38. Cards have been extremely high in La Viola fixtures and on average 5.44 are dished out with plenty at both ends. They are a tenacious sort of team who will get stuck in but can also wind up the opposition regularly by drawing fouls and incidents.
West Ham have overachieving metrics in Europe
West Ham have also excelled in this competition averaging 2.36 goals per game and conceding just 0.57. They have overachieved massively compared to their xG and xGA metrics though. The Hammers average less shots and fewer shots on target than Fiorentina but have a similar SOT against rate.
Cards and corners have also been on the lower side in West Ham fixtures. They have obtained exactly five corners per game on average and conceded 4.29 at the other end. David Moyes’ men have racked up more cards than their opponents and they’ve generally been far dirtier in Europe than in the Premier League.
Fiorentina vs West Ham shots and shots on target stats
Italians known for shooting regularly
Fiorentina are a huge shooting team and average over 18 per game! Nico Gonzalez averages close to four shots per 90 mins with roughly a couple on target. Arthur Cabral and Jonathan Ikone are another duo who average over three shots and should be good for at least one shot on target. Two others worth keeping an eye on are Giacomo Bonaventura and Rolando Mandragora who could be worth adding to your Fiorentina bet builder for over 1.5 shots.
Antonio likely to pepper the target
Michail Antonio will lead the line for the Hammers and will be the main man to watch for shots and shots on target. He has a decent average for both and may especially be worth adding to your West Ham bet builder to have at least one shot on target. Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen also stand out for shots, but they are far less accurate. Could Declan Rice be worth considering in this market if he fancies his chances of shooting from midfield? There are certainly some options here in the West Ham squad.
Fiorentina vs West Ham goals and assist stats
Biraghi has impressed with assists
Arthur Cabral has been the top scorer for Fiorentina in the Conference League this season and has been a significant threat. Nico Gonzalez on the right wing is another worth looking at in this market. Both Bonaventura and Ikone have chipped in with assists but the standout in this category is left back Cristiano Biraghi who has racked up six assists during the competition so far.
Bowen is a dual threat in attack
Michail Antonio has enjoyed a stellar European campaign and leads the West Ham scoring charts. Jarrod Bowen has combined for six total goals and assists and is maybe one to consider in the ‘to score or assist’ market when thinking about your West Ham bet builder.
Fiorentina vs West Ham passing stats
La Viola likely to dominate possession
The Italians average 60% possession and will probably have the lion’s share of the ball here. Two plyers who stand out are Sofiane Amrabat and Nikola Milenkovic who both average over 70 passes per 90 mins. Defender Lucas Martinez Quarta is not far behind and all three of this trio could be considered in the 70 passes or more market to add to your Fiorentina bet builder.
Rice is the heartbeat of the team
West Ham average 52% possession in Europe this season but that is a figure which dropped to around 45% in the Premier League. Their general style under the management of David Moyes is to sit back and be a counter-attacking unit. One man always stands out above the rest though and that is captain Declan Rice. He averages over 60 passes per 90 mins and is the total engine of this team.
Fiorentina Cards and Fouls stats
Biraghi could come under fire at left back
At an average of 2.75 cards per game, Fiorentina have been pretty dirty in the Conference League this season. Taking them for the most cards or on a card handicap could be worth consideration to your Fiorentina vs West Ham bet builder. There are a quartet of players, including Jonathan Ikone and Cristiano Biraghi who have obtained at least three cards this season in Europe. The biggest offender in terms of fouls is Milenkovic with Quarta and Amrabat not far behind.
tough to nail down Michail
Michail Antonio is a physical beast and can take some containing. He’s fouled over twice per 90 mins and will cause issues to the Fiorentina defence. The whole West Ham front three stand out in this way with Benrahma a known serial dribbler and Bowen awkward to deal with cutting inside. The Hammers’ right hand side with Coufal and Bowen as a combined duo looks like a handful so Biraghi could be in for a tough evening.

West Ham Cards and Fouls Stats
Creswell will be tested
The East London side average exactly two cards per game in Europe this season but are usually quite a clean side. No player has racked up more two cards in the competition and there’s a chance that David Moyes might want them to sit back and play with more discipline. Midfielder Lucas Paqueta is the obvious standout for fouls with Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal also likely to test to referee.
Good luck with Gonzalez
La Viola draw an average of 2.69 cards from the opposition and right winger Nico Gonzalez is the prime candidate to cause issues. He is fouled at a high rate which is probably aided by his dribbling stats. Fiorentina have a formidable duo on the right hand side with Dodo another player likely to draw fouls. Aaron Cresswell is an experienced campaigner, but he will be severely tested in this final. The fighting qualities of Amrabat in midfield make him a candidate to be involved in several tussles.
