Scroll down for the Betis vs Fiorentina TV channel and live stream info, match preview and more ahead of Thursday’s Conference League semi-final first leg clash.
The Viola are aiming to make it third time lucky after losing in the last two finals of Europe’s newest club competition. Raffaele Palladino’s men were eliminated in the 2023 finale by West Ham and a year later by Olympiacos.
Interestingly, the Gigliati won the Cup Winners’ Cup back in 1961 which was the equivalent competition to the Conference League.
Alongside the now defunct Mitropa Cup which Fiorentina won in 1966, they are the only European titles the Italians have won in their 99-year history.
The Viola reached the last four after beating Panathinaikos (5-4) in the L16 and NK Celje (4-3) in the quarter-final. Domestically, Palladino’s side heads into the game after beating Empoli 2-1 on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Betis will be participating in their maiden European club competition semi-final. The LaLiga club have enjoyed a fruitful campaign so far and find themselves in sixth place in Spain’s elite soccer division standings.
Manuel Pellegrini could write himself into the Verdiblancos folklore by getting the better of Fiorentina over two legs. If Pellegrini managed to go all the way and win the 2024-25 Conference League, expect a statue to be erected outside the Benito Villamarin Stadium.

Betis Vs Fiorentina Prediction
Both teams head into the Conference League semi-final first leg in really fine form. Betis have lost just once in their last 13 games across all competitions.
As for Fiorentina, the Viola have one defeat to their name in the last nine outings. With that in mind, it makes for an intriguing clash at the Benito Villamarin Stadium.
Antony and Moise Kean will be the players to watch but if Kean doesn’t feature, Albert Gudmundsson and Rolando Mandragora can make the step up.
Raffaele Palladino’s men have the greater experience at this stage in the Conference League but we are predicting the Verdiblancos to put on a show on Thursday in front of their fans.
Therefore, we are predicting a high-scoring draw.
Prediction: Betis 2-2 Fiorentina
