Jagiellonia – Fiorentina: Poland up against Italian experience 
Jagiellonia Bialystok kick off their Conference League knockout tie by hosting Fiorentina on Thursday in Poland.
Both sides will try to get an edge before the return in Italy. The winner will face Strasbourg or Rakow Czestochowa next.
The contrast is clear: Polish ambition versus Italian European know‑how.
Jagiellonia: solid at home and full of confidence 
Jagiellonia punched their ticket without flair but with ruthless consistency. They don’t score a lot — rarely more than one a game — but they operate as a disciplined unit.
Apart from a loss to Rayo Vallecano, the Polish side stayed steady through their European campaign. At home they’re a real headache to break down.
2024 Polish champions, the club are enjoying the best spell in their history. Leading the Ekstraklasa, they go into this tie with momentum and regularity.
This is their first meeting with an Italian club. The plan is simple: don’t be passive, make the home leg count and try to build an advantage.
Fiorentina: experience on their side, but cracks show 
Used to European nights, Fiorentina bring pedigree and experience. Recent Conference League finalists, the Viola know how to handle these occasions.
But this season has been bumpier. Domestically they’re dragged into a relegation fight. In Europe their form has been up and down, with avoidable defeats and an underwhelming finish.
Since Paolo Vanoli arrived the football has gained structure, yet the defence still leaks. Clean sheets are rare and every away trip carries uncertainty.
In Poland the Italians will need to be tougher if they want to avoid a nasty surprise before the return at the Stadio Franchi.
Probable lineups
Jagiellonia Bialystok :
Abramowicz ; Wojtuszek, Vital, Pelmard, Wdowik ; Mazurek, Drachal ; Nahuel, Imaz, Pozo ; Rallis
Fiorentina :
Martinelli ; Dodo, Comuzzo, Pongracic, Fortini ; Mandragora, Ndour ; Parisi, Fabbian, Solomon ; Kean
Football Prediction Jagiellonia vs Fiorentina
Jagiellonia or draw
Fiorentina have the experience, but recent performances leave room for doubt. By contrast, Jagiellonia look genuinely sturdy at home.
In a likely tight contest, the Poles should be capable of holding firm and even grabbing a slim lead before the second leg.
A narrow home win or a draw looks the most believable outcome.

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We give an opinion, a snapshot read of the moment, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and everything can change.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks obvious, it isn’t. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Play sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a pastime, not a job or a source of income. If it takes over, annoys you or puts you under pressure, take a break. If needed, contact a specialist organisation — that’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and that it won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Essential reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must comply with your local laws. Gambling can spiral (financial loss, family tensions, addiction). Need help? Call 09 74 75 13 13 (standard-rate call) https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions do not form a contract. They carry no legal weight. In short: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info that can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But lineups change (like Fiorentina’s), a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can quickly become outdated. We can’t be held responsible for that.
