Fiorentina will be looking to end their trophy drought by winning the Europa Conference League final tonight, but opponents Olympiakos will be going all-out to make history at the OPAP Arena in Greece.
Fiorentina’s last trophy came in 2001 and they will be going all-out to put to an end this 23-year silverware drought when they face Olympiakos in the Europa Conference League final this evening. The Italian outfit made it all the way to the final twelve months ago, only for them to be sunk by West Ham United, Jarrod Bowen scoring the winner late in the match. The question is, can Fiorentina go one better this time around?
Fiorentina are firm favourites to get their hands on the trophy at best odds of 3/4 while they are a best price of 11/8 with the leading football betting sites to get the job done in 90 minutes. Olympiakos are best odds of 5/4 to lift the trophy while they are 45/19 to win in 90 minutes.
Indeed, if Olympiakos prevail in tonight’s match, they will become the first ever Greek side to triumph in a major European trophy and they are now just 90 minutes (and possibly extra-time and penalties) away from doing so. The Greek outfit are led by 2023 Europa League winner Jose Luis Mendilibar who became manager of Olympiakos three months ago.

This was the first competitive meeting between West Ham United and Fiorentina since the mid 1970s and as expected, it was a very evenly-fought encounter, the Hammers eventually prevailing with a hard-fought 2-1 victory.
Valuable piece of European silverware
Jarrod Bowen banged in the winner in the 90th minute and secured for West Ham United a valuable piece of European silverware. The Europa Conference League Trophy is the Hammers’ first piece of silverware since they lifted the FA Cup in 1980 and their first European trophy since 1965, a fitting reminder to fans that they should be careful what they wish for.
Three seasons in a row
Only nine weeks ago, sections of the Hammers’ support were calling for manager David Moyes to be sacked, fans unfurling a banner reading ‘Moyes Out’ prior to the 1-0 victory over Fulham which probably kept him in his job. Now the West Ham boss has helped put to an end a 43-year wait for silverware and has written his name into club folklore. With a place in next season’s Europa League secured on account of this win, the Hammers have now qualified for European competition for three years in succession, for the very first time in their history.
Tough season
The 2022/23 Premier League campaign was tough for West Ham and they eventually finished in 14th position with only six points separating them from the relegation zone. The East Londoners are priced at 20/1 to be relegated next season while they are as low as 12/1 to finish in the top four next term.

Fiorentina are 19/20 to lift the trophy (whether in normal time, extra time or penalties) while West Ham are 10/11 in the same market.
