A trophy and a spot in next season's Europa League are up for grabs for both Olympiakos and Fiorentina. The Greek side will feel at home as the final is set to take place at the OPAP Arena, the home ground of their rivals AEK Athens. Olympiakos, finishing third in the Greek Super League this season, secured their place in the Conference League final with an impressive 6-2 aggregate victory over Premier League side Aston Villa. Their journey to the final saw them drop down from the Europa League after finishing third in their group, but they rallied through the play-offs, eliminating Maccabi Tel-Aviv and Fenerbahçe in the knockout stages.

Fiorentina, from Serie A, will aim to avenge last season's final defeat in the same competition to West Ham and clinch their second-ever European trophy. With an expected eighth-place finish in Serie A, this final represents their last opportunity to secure a Europa League spot for the next season. Their path to the final involved topping their group and then eliminating Maccabi Haifa, Viktoria Plzen, and Club Brugge. Remarkably, they have yet to suffer a defeat in the competition.

Expect goals in this final as both teams have displayed attacking prowess throughout the tournament. Fiorentina has scored 25 times in 12 games, while Olympiakos has netted 18 times in eight games. Both teams have shown vulnerability defensively, contributing to only seven clean sheets between them. Fiorentina's attacking duo Nicolas Gonzalez and Lucas Beltran have been pivotal, scoring a combined total of 25 goals across all competitions. Meanwhile, Olympiakos will rely on the scoring prowess of Ayoub El Kaabi, who has five goals in the semi-final.

This will mark the first-ever meeting between Olympiakos and Fiorentina. Olympiakos has struggled historically against Italian opposition, with just seven wins in 28 fixtures. Similarly, Fiorentina has had limited success against Greek sides, with only one win in five matches. Olympiakos might miss defender Giulian Biancone, while Fiorentina is expected to have a relatively fit squad, with Riccardo Sottil likely to be the only absentee due to a shoulder injury.

In their last five games, Olympiakos has won three, drawn one, and lost one, showing good form leading up to the final. Fiorentina's recent form has been mixed, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five matches. However, both teams have secured their spots in the final, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting encounter.

Both teams arrive at the final in comparable form, suggesting a closely contested match with little to differentiate between them. Nevertheless, considering Fiorentina's defeat in the final of this competition last season, we predict them to push through and claim the trophy this time around.
