You need to consider several factors in order to make a successful UEFA Europa Conference League prediction.

Since the tournament’s first edition, in the 2021/2022 season, betting experts have been paying close attention to smaller details to provide punters with some tips and best possible wagers. Some expert-proven tips you need to keep in mind when betting on this tournament include:

Experts recommend paying attention to a football club’s schedule when assessing their chances in a Europa Conference League game. This factor is important to consider even when predicting the outright winner of the tournament. Let’s take Aston Villa, the favourites, as an example.

Aston Villa have a tight schedule before the European matches, with meetings against West Ham, Arsenal, and Tottenham. 

Such a schedule can negatively affect the team’s performance and form. Also, Aston Villa might decide to focus on their challenge for a top-four spot in the Premier League instead of the Conference League to play in the Champions League next season, which can lead to a loss of focus in the Conference League.

It’s helpful to analyse every team’s statistics in the competition. Several aspects are available to consider here. The history of the team in any European competition will help. But you should focus on last season’s UEFA Europa Conference League stats. Focus on key stats like:

• The number of shots
• Successful passes
• Possession ratio
• Expected goals
• Cards received and more

These indicators will provide you with an idea of a football team’s desire to win the UEFA Europa Conference League title.

You need to judge the team’s real desire and motivation in this third competition in Europe. For some years now, a difference in the interest and desire shown by teams has been witnessed. 

Some teams use weakened line-ups because they are keener to rest their players for important domestic fixtures, which are usually played only three days later. Some are keener to perform well and collect financial rewards. Judging the motivation and desire will help you make informed bets.

Aston Villa are the favourites based on their performance, desire and motivation. However, they’ll manage to lift the trophy if they strike a good balance between their top-four spot and the UEFA Europa Conference League trophy. 

As things heat up in the EPL towards the end of the season, the team might focus its priorities on domestic responsibilities to secure a Champions League spot. If that is the case, Fiorentina, who reached the finals in the 2022/2023 season, will be desperate to get back and lift the trophy.
