Lausanne Sport vs Fiorentina : qualification up for grabs 
Thursday night, Fiorentina and Lausanne Sport meet with one objective: keep their Conference League run alive. They’re separated by a single point in the table and both sit in a play-off spot going into the final group game.
Fiorentina : a season on the ropes 
Used to going deep in this competition, Fiorentina are having a much tougher European campaign this time. The start looked promising, but defeats to Mainz then AEK Athens put the Italian club on the back foot.
The 2-1 win over Dynamo Kiev offered a breather. Moise Kean and Albert Gudmundsson finally scored, gifting a valuable victory at the Stadio Franchi. That result keeps the Viola in the qualification mix, just a point off the top eight.
But domestically it’s a mess. Still pointless after fifteen Serie A rounds, Fiorentina hit rock bottom last week with a home loss to Verona, a direct rival in the survival fight. Paolo Vanoli only just arrived and he’s already under pressure. Slip up in Switzerland and his job gets a whole lot harder.
Lausanne : don’t blow it at home 
Lausanne Sport face a big night. The Swiss club have never played Fiorentina in a competitive game. The aim is simple: defend their play-off spot.
After a solid start — two wins on the bounce — the momentum faded. In the last three European games Lausanne picked up just two points and failed to score in the last two.
That 0-0 draw with KuPS last week still leaves a slim chance of direct qualification, but they’d need other results to go their way. A defeat would be damaging.
In the league they’re not flying either. Eighth of twelve in the Super League, the club have gone several matches without scoring and struggle to create real danger.
Likely squads
On the Florentine side, the XI will depend on the context. The Serie A game against Udinese is already seen as crucial for Vanoli, so he might rotate a little. Players like Amir Richardson or Edin Džeko could start.
Cher Ndour is suspended, while Robin Gosens, Jacopo Fazzini and Tariq Lamptey are out.
At Lausanne, Brandon Soppy and Beyatt Lekoueiry — sent off in the domestic league — will be available in Europe. Nathan Butler-Oyedeji should animate the attack behind Theo Bair, who’s already scored twice in the competition. Gaoussou Diakité is away at AFCON with Mali.
Both teams are walking a tightrope. A win would almost guarantee qualification; a draw might be enough depending on other results. Fiorentina have more to lose given their sporting and institutional situation.
In a tight game where caution can quickly give way to nerves, every detail will matter for that European ticket.
Football Prediction Lausanne Sport vs Fiorentina
Both teams to score
Fiorentina and Lausanne have too much at stake to sit back and do the maths. Both are having rough seasons, but both still have players who can finish from a moment of pressure or a defensive mistake. In a tense match where nerves will surface, seeing both sides score is a believable outcome.

First, a word on our tips
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot of the moment, never a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it usually isn’t. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Be sensible. Bet small, set a bankroll and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, making you anxious or stressed, take a break. And if you need it, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re there for.
- In the end, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means you accept that risk exists and it won’t vanish, not even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: gambling is banned for minors and must follow your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (financial losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment on our part
Our tips aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. Plain and simple: you can’t rely on them to make a claim if a bet loses.
Information changes
A tip is based on what we know when we write. Between then and kick-off a team sheet can change, a player gets injured, the weather turns nasty… and the analysis becomes outdated. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before you bet, check that gambling is legal where you live. If it isn’t, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling first
We’ll say it again: play in moderation. If you’re losing control, don’t wait to get help. We can’t be held responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the info published on the site.
