Fiorentina vs Crystal Palace Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 16/04/2026

Fiorentina will try to overturn a three-goal deficit after a 0-3 first-leg defeat as they return home for a must-win European night. As Viola need to adopt an attack-minded approach in Thursday’s clash, we predict a 2-2 draw. The Italians are without key right-back Dodo due to suspension, adding to their defensive concerns. Fiorentina’s recent form has been inconsistent (1.70 PPG), but they remain dangerous at home, averaging 1.20 goals scored and 1.20 conceded, with 40% win rate and a tendency for competitive, open matches.Crystal Palace travel to Tuscany in strong shape after dominating the first leg and now hold a comfortable cushion. The Eagles will be without forward Evann Guessand, but Jorgen Strand Larsen returns from suspension to boost their attack. Palace have been impressive overall (2.10 PPG), conceding just 0.60 goals per game and showing strong away resilience, including a perfect scoring record on the road (1.75 goals per game away, 0% failed to score).
