Fiorentina vs Sigma Olomouc prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-10-01 19:00.
[p]Two-time UEFA Conference League finalists Fiorentina are looking to move on from a poor start to the domestic season when they take on Czech visitors Sigma Olomouc on matchday one.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Fiorentina have endured a miserable start to the campaign, failing to win any of their first five Serie A matches for the first time since 1977/78. The Conference League offers safe haven for La Viola, who’ve featured in each of the last three editions and reached at least the semi-final every time. Their only two wins this campaign came in this competition when beating Polissya Zhytomyr in the play-off, but backing that up is far from guaranteed considering that they’ve started the main draw of the Conference League with a win only once in their three appearances (D2).[/p]
[p]Sigma Olomouc are appearing in European competition for the first time in seven years, with victory in the Czech Cup earning them a shot at European qualification. Falling short against Malmö dropped them into the Conference League in what is their first full European campaign since the 2005/06 Intertoto Cup! Results since that defeat have been concerning however, with their five matches producing just one win (D2, L2) and seeing them eliminated from the Czech Cup by fourth-tier city neighbours Nové Sady last week.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the first H2H between these two sides, with Sigma Olomouc winless in their five previous matches against Italian opposition (D1, L4), while Fiorentina have lost just four of their 17 meetings with Czech sides (W10, D3).[/p]
