UEFA Europa Conference League: Round of 32

Summary

Conference League teams are gearing up for what should be an entertaining last three months of European action.

Resuming from the World Cup break, these teams are hungry and ready for the challenge of two leg series and will have to prepare accordingly.

There hasn’t been too much drama within the Conference League this season, but it’s about to get a whole lot spicier.

These two leg matchups will likely feature a ton of comebacks, and late action.

Goals should be scored a plenty, and there is no reason why any of these teams could not go on and win the whole competition.

Cranked to the max, teams are going to be employing the tactics they’ve been saving and make sure to use their line-ups efficiently.

Domestic Leagues are not to be neglected and there is going to be a massive test of mentality these next few weeks.

Let’s get into some of this week’s best bets on Stake.com’s sportsbook!

Match Betting Previews

Braga FC versus Fiorentina FC - Thursday, February 16th, 2023

Braga is sitting in a top four spot within Portugal, but they want to take things to a further step.

One of the more prolific sides in the Conference League, Braga will host Fiorentina to kick off their round of thirty-two matchup.

Braga has been able to score goals on almost anyone they come against, and they will be more than happy to attack on the Italian side this Thursday.

Braga has always been a threat within their Portugal region, and they are finally able to put it onto display on a more expanded stage.

Hosting will give them a ton of confidence in leg one and could catapult their hopes of advancing with a positive result.

Given Fiorentina’s recent form, look for Braga to make a hard push at an advantage.

Fiorentina have had a really disappointing past two months within the Serie A. Florence has become used to lacklustre displays, and the absence of finishing in the final third.

The midfield and attacking players can get into some great positions, but the nonfactor of prolific strikers has really severed their chances.

Fiorentina will need to rile up their squad and make sure they are on the same page, defending but also converting chances this Thursday.

Betting Prediction - Braga ML and them to score at least 2+ goals in the match.

Bodo/Glimt versus Lech Poznan - Thursday, February 16th, 2023

Bodo Glimt and Lech Poznan is an interesting battle between two domestic giants.

Norwegian and Polish respectively, both of these squads are capable of getting into shootouts and scoring goals.

The question becomes their ability to play from advanced positions and keep up pressure.

Defence will be an equalizer of many sorts this upcoming Thursday, and whichever team bosses the possession will need to be wary of the counter.

Bodo will have the privilege of hosting, which should give them a boost in this contest.

Betting Prediction - Bodo/Glimt to win and the over 2.5 on goals total in this matchup.
