  • Back 8/1 Bet Builder on goals and shots


Bookies can't split them for trophy

Both Fiorentina and West Ham are bidding to win their first European trophy since the 1960s when they contest the Europa Conference League final.

Fans may be in short supplying inside the woefully small stadium in Prague, but what they should see is plenty of action on the field.

The bookies can't split them with both sides priced at 10/11 to walk away with the trophy and earn a spot in next season's Europa League.

As with all big games we've got our five big Bet Builders special on the game, including a whopping 52/153.00 shot to go at, but here for our daily column here's the pick of the best components .

Leg 1: Over 2.5 goals

An attractive odds-against price for the top two scorers in the competition to combine for three goals - and I actually think there could be a couple more in this game.

Fiorentina scoring three goals in six straight away games is impressive in any competition, while they've got four players with five goals or more in the Conference League this season.

The Hammers have also bagged three goals in half of their 14 games in this competition so it's almost impossible to see this not coming in.

Leg 2: Nicolas Gonzalez 4+ shots

The Argentinian just loves to have an effort on goals for Fiorentina but doesn't always have the accuracy that you'd like.

Gonzalez has had 107 efforts on goal in all competitions this campaign, including 4+ shots on target in three of his last four games.

In the Conference League he's hit this mark four times and with that trigger just a bit more itchy in a final he'll be taking pot shots from all angles.

Leg 3: Tomas Soucek 2+ shots

Soucek is back on home turf so expect maximum effort from him to have a big impact on the game - with the dream of lifting the trophy in his own backyard.

Always a danger at set pieces, Soucek has been getting a lot more efforts in on goal recently - having a shot in nine of his last 10 games.

And in five of those games, Soucek has had two efforts on goal in, so 4/6 for him to have 2+ shots with all that extra motivation is worth taking.

Back over 2.5 goals, Gonzalez 4+ shots & Soucek 2+ shots

8/1
