Match Preview
History awaits for both West Ham and Fiorentina on Wednesday, June 7, as both sides could end their long wait for a major piece of silverware. West Ham will be competing in a European final for the first time since 1976, while they will be chasing a first major honor since winning the FA Cup in 1980.

West Ham has been faultless in the knockout stages, winning five of their six matches across ties against AEK Larnaca, Gent, and AZ.

Fiorentina will also be looking to create history in the Europa Conference League final, as they compete in a European final for the first time since avoiding going out of business. Their last major piece of silverware came with Coppa Italia glory in 2001, but they were relegated to the fourth tier of Italian soccer in 2002 after going bankrupt.
Fiorentina has already tasted defeat in a major final this season, as they were edged out by Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia just a few weeks ago. The Italian giants avoided a scare in the previous round, as they eventually came through against Basel by an aggregate scoreline of 4-3 after extra time.
Fiorentina vs West Ham Prediction
You have to go back to 1975 for the previous clashes between these sides, with Fiorentina winning home and away in ties in the Anglo-Italian League Cup Winners Cup. However, West Ham look to gain revenge in this final, as they stepped up their performance levels throughout their Europa Conference League campaign. We will be siding with the Hammers to end their long wait for major silverware.
