UEFA Conference League Predictions and Best Bets for Today, December 18

Fiorentina enters this clash against Lausanne-Sport as a -112 favorite in the moneyline, which is really odd. The Italian side has struggled recently, winning only once in their last ten games. If you filter only away games, you need to go back to October to find a Fiorentina win.

There are issues all over the place, with the side unable to keep clean sheets and rarely scoring more than a goal. This will be a problem against a very solid Lausanne-Sport side.

The Swiss side doesn’t score many goals but is rock-solid at the back as well. Lausanne just earned a tough goalless draw against Basel, despite playing with ten men for more than half an hour.

Furthermore, Lausanne is unbeaten in four Conference League games at home this season, if you include the playoffs. The Swiss side can definitely get something from the match against Fiorentina, so I’m happy to take the -118 available for the hosts to win or draw this one.

If you analyze this match based on history and names, it should be an easy win for Legia. However, the results and performances this season suggest that Lincoln Red Imps should at least make it competitive.

The team from Gibraltar has earned 7 points so far in the Conference League and is still in the hunt for a spot in the next stage. They have struggled away from home, losing both games so far, but I really don’t trust Legia right now.

The Polish side is on a 11-game winless streak in all competitions right now and almost out of the Conference League already after earning only three points in the opening five games. They are also 17th in the Polish league, firmly in a tough battle against relegation.

Even if Legia wins here, I don’t expect a battering. Getting plus odds for Lincoln Red Imps to either take something or lose only by a single goal is one of the best Conference League bets today.
