Conference League: All about the overthrow by Fiorentina and the “Greek” Alkmaar!

All eyes on the two rematches for his semi-finals European Conference League! Two games that at first glance seem to have favorites for qualification, but that may not be the case. Because the West Ham after the 2-1 on her Alkmaar in London it goes with… an airbag in the Netherlands, just like the Reign welcomes in Switzerland the Fiorentinahaving defeated the Italians by the same score but away from home.

ALKMAAR-WEST HAM (22:00): Looking for a big turnaround after losing 2-1, but the company of Pavlidis, Hatzidiakou (who are expected to be key again) will do everything in her power. He had taken the lead in London with Raiders (41′), but within a quarter of an hour he experienced the upset and defeat. With Benrahma’s penalty (67′) equalizing the score and Antonio’s goal (76′) overturning it.

THE Alkmaar remains unbeaten at home for 25 matches (including qualifiers) in Europe (17-8-0). In the Conference League this year only wins count, having 8/8 with 25-5 goals and the last defeat came from Lyon (1-4) in 2017. At the same time, Alkmaar, in the knockout phase of a European competition, has been defeated only in 2 of the 36 knockout games he gave at home (24-10-2).

THE West Ham it has qualified on all 9 previous occasions that it has won the first match in a European knockout competition, while its striker, Michael Antonio, has found the net 6 times in his 7 appearances in this year’s competition.

On behalf of Alkmaar, Kerkez (left back), Karlsson (midfielder) and De Wit (midfielder) return. Doubtful for Antonio (forward) and Tzufal (back) for West Ham.

KINGDOM-FIORENTINA (22:00): With a terrific demarcation in the second half, Fiorentina’s lead was overturned by Cabral, with Diouf and Amduni finding the goals of the reversal.

Invincible n Reign in the three matches against the Fiorentina (2-1-0), having scored two goals in each of those matches. Since the Grasshoppers in the 1977-78 season, Basel became the first Swiss team to win a semi-final match in European competition and will aim to become the first to appear in a final.

Basel has a 6/6 qualification when they win the first leg. Fiorentina has been eliminated the last 6 times they have lost the first game in the knockout phase of a European competition, while counting 4/4 eliminations having lost the first match at home.

The only difference for the two teams compared to the first match is his return Milenkovic in the stoppers for Fiorentina, with his absence (due to suspension) being noticeable!
