This will be the first time Fiorentina and West Ham will meet in Europe. A win for either team tonight will add a first Conference League trophy to their cabinet.
West Ham have not won a major European trophy since 1965. The Hammers defeated 1860 Munich in the European Cup Winners’ Cup at Wembley in 1965. Their last major domestic trophy was the 1980 FA Cup.
Meanwhile, Florentina has reached the final of a major European competition for the fifth time in their history. The Italian side has won just one of their previous four European finals, beating another British side, Rangers, in the 1961 Cup Winners’ Cup final.

Form (Last Five Games)
Florentina: Win–Win-Loss-Draw-Win
West Ham: Loss-Win-Win-Lose-Win
Players to watch
Authur Cabral(Florentina) – With 17 goals to his name, his Florentina’s top scorer. He will be one to cause problems for West Ham defenders should he play.
West Ham will treat Cabral with the respect he deserves, given his impressive record in the competition, coupled with their strong desire to win what would be a first major European title since the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1965.
Declane Rice(West Ham)– Undoubtedly one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. The West Ham skipper could play his last game for the Hammers and should hope for a victory. His leadership on the pitch will most certainly come in handy.
Betting tip: Try a double chance for either team to win and both to score.
