------------------------------------------
Fiorentina looks to reach their third consecutive Conference League final, needing to overturn a one-goal deficit against Real Betis in the second leg. Betis, having won the first leg in Seville, will travel to Florence aiming to protect their lead and make history.

Team Analysis:
Fiorentina fought hard in the first leg of their Conference League semi-final against Real Betis, coming from two goals down to finish 2-1. Despite a late goal by captain Luca Ranieri, the Italian side faces a challenging task in the return leg. Meanwhile, Betis has been strong recently, still competing for a Champions League spot and securing a late 2-1 win over Espanyol.

Player Situation:
Fiorentina manager Raffaele Palladino rotated his squad, with Moise Kean returning and Luca Ranieri set to reclaim his spot in defense after suspension. Dodo has recovered from appendicitis and may start, while Danilo Cataldi is a doubt due to injury. Real Betis may bring back Abde Ezzalzouli, with Antony and Isco set to lead the attack. The visitors will again be without Chimy Avila, Marc Roca, and Diego Llorente due to injury.

Result Prediction:
Real Betis are well-positioned to end Fiorentina's Conference League hopes, with their strong form and ability to handle pressure. While Fiorentina can be dangerous, especially with Moise Kean in top form, Betis' consistency and skill make them favorites to secure a draw and advance to the final, where they are set to face Chelsea in Wroclaw.

Predicted Result: Fiorentina 2-2 Real Betis.
