Crystal Palace vs Fiorentina Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 09/04/2026

Crystal Palace face Fiorentina in a finely balanced Europa League quarter-final showdown, with both sides bringing solid form into the encounter. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched, our prediction leans toward 1-1 draw. The Eagles will be without Jørgen Strand Larsen due to suspension, meaning Jean-Philippe Mateta is expected to lead the attack. The capital club have been defensively strong, conceding just 0.8 goals per match and keeping clean sheets in 50% of their last 10 games, with that figure rising to 80% at home. However, their attack has been less consistent at Selhurst Park, averaging just 1.0 goal per game.Fiorentina, on the other hand, travel to London with several injury concerns, including Dodo, Lamptey, Mandragora, and Solomon, but key striker Moise Kean is fit. The Italian side have been impressive, earning 2.00 points per game and excelling away from home with a 2.40 points average and 2.0 goals scored per match. Their balanced approach, combined with strong attacking output, makes them a serious threat despite the absentees.
