Fiorentina vs Celje prediction 17.04.2025 | Conference League

• Competition: Conference League
• Date: Thursday, 17th April 2025
• Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florence)

On Thursday night, one of Fiorentina and Celje will progress to the Conference League semifinal. The Italian team is surely much closer to the next phase as they won 2-1 in Slovenia last week. Fiorentina didn't impress in that game, but their better calmness in the attack decided the winner.

Fiorentina have another solid season. With six Serie A rounds left in the season and six points behind the fourth position, the team from Stadio Artemio Franchi still have a chance to find a place in the Champions League next season. Fiorentina have not lost in the last six matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they played 0-0 at home against Parma. The home side expected more in that match, but they couldn't score, so the teams shared points. 

Celje didn't impress in the Slovenian league this season, as they are currently fourth on the table, but Albert Riera's team can be very satisfied with their performance in the Conference League. The quarterfinal is surely the best result in the club's history in European competitions. Celje won five of the last six matches. In the previous game, they won 2-1 at home against Mura. The home side finished the match with 73% ball possession and 12 shots on goal more than the opponent but needed a game-winner in the second half's stoppage time to secure all three points. 

Fiorentina vs Celje pick: Under 3.5 goals

Fiorentina have a good defense. They allowed only three goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, Celje conceded four goals in five games. We shouldn't expect more than three goals in the upcoming tie in Florence.
