English Premier League outfit West Ham United will face Fiorentina in the UEFA Europa Conference League final on Wednesday night at the Fortuna Arena in Prague.
The Hammers had a disappointing season in the league, finishing 14th, but the London Stadium faithful will certainly be happy if David Moyes can bring home silverware and qualify for the Europa League next term.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina managed to finish eighth in Serie A after their 3-1 away win in their final game of the season meant that they climbed above Bologna.

West Ham United looked like they would be in a spot of bother heading into the latter stages of the season as they were flirting with relegation to the EFL Championship, but some important wins in the final few games against the likes of Manchester United was enough to secure survival.
England international Declan Rice has been heavily linked with a move away from West Ham in the summer, but the 24-year-old will certainly be fully focused on winning the Europa Conference League in what could be his final game for the club.
Fiorentina come into this final in a rich vein of form, losing just once out of their last five games in all competitions, including two wins in their most recent fixtures.
Arthur Cabral has been the man in the goals for Fiorentina this season, he has found the back of the net an impressive seven times in 13 Conference League appearances. So Vincenzo Italiano will be hoping that his star man can continue this form heading into the final.
Bet9ja Tips
We expect this final to be a highly contested and tight affair, especially when you consider what’s at stake. The last time Fiorentina won a major European trophy was 1961, and the last time West Ham achieved that feat was in 1965.
With that in mind, you can expect a low scoring game. West Ham would be slightly more fancied to end their European drought – a Hammers win combined with under 1.5 goals is priced up at 8.20, in 90 minutes only, at Bet9ja. When it comes to winning the trophy, you can get odds on West ham at 1.95.
Cabral has been bang in the goals for his side in Europe this season and you can get odds of him to score anytime at 3.50. Michail Antonio is the man expected to lead the line for the Hammers on Wednesday night, and you can get odds of him to have over 1.5 shots on target at 1.60. However, if you believe in fairy-tales, Rice to score on what is likely to be his last game is priced up at 9.00 anytime, or 22.00 to score first.
Bet9ja Odds (at time of writing, 90 minutes only): Fiorentina win: 2.82, Draw: 3.20, West Ham win: 2.78
