<p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">These two teams are among the main contenders to win the UEFA Europa Conference League this season, and whoever advances will most likely feel they have enough about them to win it…</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><h2 style="margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:18pt;">Quick Picks</h2><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;"><strong>Our pick:</strong> Draw</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;"><strong>Value bet:</strong> Under 2.5 Goals</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;"><strong>Long shot:</strong> 0-0 correct score</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><h2 style="margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:18pt;">Betting Preview</h2><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">Crystal Palace will enter this game on the back of a long break, with the international break and FA Cup having given Oliver Glasner's side plenty of time to rest and recuperate ahead of arguably their biggest game of the season.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Eagles haven't been as dominant as many had expected they would be in this year's competition, but they've found a way to grind out results.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">They would need the play-off route to reach this stage, finishing 10th after three wins, one draw, and two defeats.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">In those six games, they'd score 11 goals and concede six.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">In the play-off route, they would overcome Zrinjski 3-1 on aggregate, with a 2-0 home victory in the second leg.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">The next encounter would see them take on AEK Larnaca, who they had struggled against in the Group Phase.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">They were held 0-0 at home in the first leg, but would win 2-1 away.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">Fiorentina also needed the play-off route to help them.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">Paolo Vanoli's side would finish 15th, winning three and losing three of their six games. They scored eight times but conceded five.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">Those interested in <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/serie-a-betting-guide-2025-26">betting on Italian football</a> will know La Viola have been inconsistent this season.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">They improved in the knockouts: first, they defeated Jagiellonia Bialystok 5-4 on aggregate, then defeated another Polish outfit, Rakow Czestochowa, 4-2 on aggregate.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><h2 style="margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:18pt;">Betting Markets to Watch</h2><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">The odds are significantly in favour of a Crystal Palace win, but there's <strong>value worth exploring in the draw market.</strong></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">The English side haven't been as dominant or convincing with their performances in this tournament as they suggest, and have shown signs of struggle throughout the competition when playing at home.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">Fiorentina haven't always been great on the road, which is why we don't think it's likely the Italians win, but the draw offers more value compared to a win for the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/united-kingdom/english-premier-league">Premier League</a> outfit in a match between two top teams.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">If we're looking at the goals market, we think the <strong>Under 2.5 Goals is most likely.</strong> Again, neither have been prolific throughout the tournament, and the first leg is likely to be a cagey affair.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">In fact, we think there's <strong>value in the BTTS not hitting</strong>, given the likely approach both sides may take.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><h2 style="margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:18pt;">Our Prediction</h2><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/uefa-competitions/uefa-europa-conference-league/crystal-palace-v-fiorentina-10280255">Crystal Palace vs Fiorentina betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">Our prediction is that this <strong>game likely ends in a draw</strong>.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">We think both teams will cancel each other out and it will be a tense night in London throughout the 90 minutes, leaving the entire tie to be decided in the second leg.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">By extension, our long shot is for a <strong>0-0 goalless draw as the correct score</strong>.</p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;">For more tips on how to approach European knockout ties, check out our guide on <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/how-to-bet-uefa-conference-league">how to bet on the Conference League</a>.</p>
