One of the matches in the UEFA Conference League round of 16 playoffs will be held in Budapest, where at the "Jozsef Bozsik" arena, Maccabi Haifa will host Fiorentina. Here's the forecast for this match from Dailysports experts.
Maccabi Haifa
The "Greens" found themselves in a challenging Europa League group, facing Villarreal, Rennes, and Panathinaikos. Ultimately, they couldn't resist the Spanish and French clubs, but a victory in Athens against Panathinaikos in the final round allowed them to advance to the Conference League. In the first playoff round, Messi Daygo's team defeated Gent thanks to a 1-0 win in what was technically a home match. In the Israeli league, the "Greens" have been unbeaten since late January, securing four wins in five matches. Most recently, they defeated Hapoel Hadera 1-0 at home last weekend.
Fiorentina
Under Vincenzo Italiano's guidance, Fiorentina was considered a favorite in the group stage and lived up to expectations, winning the group ahead of Ferencvaros, Genk, and Chukarichki. In six matches, the "Violas" recorded three wins and three draws. Thanks to topping their group, the Italian club skipped the previous stage and enters the round of 16 directly. In Serie A, Fiorentina played to a goalless draw away against Torino last weekend. Over their last three league matches, they secured one victory against Lazio, with two draws against Torino and Empoli. Currently, Fiorentina occupies the eighth position in the league table, trailing Atalanta, who occupies a European qualification spot, by four points.

Maccabi Haifa - Fiorentina Prediction

Our bet is on "Fiorentina to win."
