Definitely what I have been expecting all week long. I knew that West Ham was the better team and I ended up being right, quite happy with the bet. I know that it was always a risky thing because there is no guarantee or anything, anyone can beat anyone during finals games, but I feel like it was certainly one side being heavily favorited. The last minute goal was a nice touch, it gave me a heart attack until the last moment, thankfully we got the win, could have gone either way. Not only game left I am anxiously waiting for is UCL winner. Its going to be tight but I wagered 1.5 over City, which means that if they win 2 goals then I am going to end up with a win, and do 3/3 on the finals this season, it would feel so much nice to actually be able to do that and I feel like the easiest one is left now.

Really an amazing match between these two teams. Without goals in the first half but second half was really hot and we seen attacks until the very last minute. This final didnt dissapoint and West Ham won a europian trophy amd we seen how much it meant for them. With this win they are in the europe league next season.

I took some time to watch this game, I even said to myself: I have to be patient because the game is just beginning, it will improve a lot, time was passing, instead of watching a great game I saw more emphasis being dao to the west ham fans who were throwing things on the field and who even reached the level of injuring a fiorentina player, but that's ok I was patient and kept watching the game, time kept passing and until it reached the end of the 1st half and nothing good in terms of playing on the field I have not seen. so I went to see other things waiting for the game to start the 2 half

When the game was already starting I was ready to continue watching the game, the minutes passed and I couldn't see a good game, it even seemed like I was watching a game from some league in China or South Korea, but that's ok I continued watching, the goal came, then another goal but it wasn't a great game, I confess that if I had a crystal ball and had seen the future and knew that this game would be very horrible I wouldn't even have wasted my time watching this game, In the final of last season I also watched the Roma final game which was also a horrible game in which Roma only went to defend and was lucky to become champion, next season I will not watch the final

West Ham were declared ECL champions in the Eden Arena, with fans and players ecstatic after defeating Fiorentina 2-1. It was a challenging contest, with both teams giving their best effort. Hammers manager David Moyes is always demonstrating his support for his players, which is a great motivation for his squad to win the game. Benhrama opens the scoring with a magnificent penalty, while Bowen scores the game-winning goal after 90 minutes. Fiorentina did their hardest and came out in force, but they were unable to match the English side's performance. We reached the last section that the best club wins.

These are exactly my thoughts when I saw the result of the game. I "inventedt" the puzzle and so far I'm happy that all the pieces fit in the right places: City win everything they can and their winning streak is already obscenely long (don't let them try to pay off the loss to Branford! - it was a friendly game), and the Italian teams are all lose plus Inter initially has the status of an explicit underdog. If my intuition does not deceive me, then in the last game of the season we should see a tragedy for City  

Yes this season has been a disappointment for Italian teams so far. There have been three Italian teams in all of the finales of big European tournaments. But Roma and Fiorentina are returning home with empty hands already. It is up to Inter now to change this look or maintain it. But honestly they don't seem to have much chance against Manchester City either. 

Tonight was really interesting. The first half was very boring for sure. But it looks like the teams waited to start all the action in the second half. It took Fiorentina only 5 minutes to answer West Ham. However Bowen's goal in the 90th minute was a shocker for Fiorentina. Despite a 9-minute stoppage time Fiorentina couldn't carry it to extra time.

Congrats to West Ham though! I think they deserved this title thanks to this effort.

I'm sorry to hear that Fiorentina is facing disappointment in the final match. Losing a final can be disheartening, especially after showing promise throughout the game. It can be particularly frustrating when a late goal puts the outcome out of reach.losing in a final doesn't diminish the team's efforts and achievements leading up to that point. Hopefully, Fiorentina will have more opportunities in the future to compete and potentially claim victory in a final.

And there we have it. Italians losing already in two finals, now all hope rests with Inter in the biggest one of them all.

Did think West Ham would win it, just wish they didn't score the final goal to ruin my prediction of under 2.5 elsewhere. They should have shut the doors down after the penalty. Moyes will be having a lot of wine tonight. Have to say Fiorentina gave them a pretty good scare, but seriously, Queentoshi, Westhampton??

Fiorentina were quick to respond after Westhampton got the first goal from the well taken penalty kick that came from a handball against the fiorentina captain. The game was looking to get into extra time which would have been tiring but Bowen from Westhampton has just scored a goal in the final minutes, and it now looks impossible for Fiorentina who will also loose this final as they lost the finals they were in last before this. This is a big disappointment for Fiorentina supporters, they looked like they were going to win with their possession kind of football.

Benrahma had made the difference in the game after scoring a beautiful penalty strike which displace the goalkeeper to the other side of the goal post. What a great finisher and a magnificent goal with a good first touch by Bonaventura to equalize the goal for Florentina to put the game on a very tight corner. It was an interesting moment for both clubs as they game is in favour of no side presently. From the look of things,I think Florentina will win this match because of they were motivated with West Ham goal against them.
Florentina 1-1 West Ham

I expected a lot more goals here there is a lot of chances but no goals so far and that is bad so far. But still in the second half there are a lot of attacks but still goalless. Small offside when Fiorentina scored the goal and it would have opened the match. Jovic scored but was unlucky

After watching the first half of the game and seeing the performance of West Ham, I don't think West Ham can win against Fiorentina tonight because Fiorentina is playing a better football than them and they have created more scoring chances despite them not scoring yet till the end of first half. The performance of a team can easily give you a clear prediction of the outcome of the game regardless of the game being final and in the game I think Fiorentina stands a better chance of winning the game unless they don't utilizes their opportunities very well or the luck is not on their side.

It was a goalless first half, it was a pity that Jovic goal was disqualified, at the last minutes of the first half. I don't know if it was an offside. West Ham has a very strong defense which Florentina finds it difficult to breakthrough. Florentina won possession of the game and had a great time. On the other West Ham played not as expected and they find it difficult to score because they are not always at the right spot. I think both clubs are equal to each other in terms of strength and game tactics,but one thing I know is that there must be a winner this match. The second half might be more interesting than this,and there might be goals from both teams

The match has been going on exactly like that. I was hopeful about watching the opposite to tell the truth. But West Ham are playing worse than I expected to watch. They have like the half of the number of passes Fiorentina have now and there is a huge gap between the ball possession percentages as well - 66% to 34%. I hope West Ham are saving their energy for the time period as of the second half. Because as time goes on simple mistakes get harder to make up for.

In the second half I want to show some action for real. I'm supporting West Ham in this by the way. If they score first by some improvement then the match can be way more exciting and interesting. Because Fiorentina have already been the better side.

so far so good, nothing much to see, pretty boring match, and goalless
expected more fire, especially from West Ham, but maybe they are saving it for second half

still have trust in Rice and Bowen that they will have West Ham lifting the trophy, and make Moyes happy

The strength of these two clubs is almost equal if we look at it from several points of view.
In the last 5 matches played by Fiorentina, they only suffered 1 defeat against Inter Milan. Meanwhile, West Ham United have lost 2 of the last 5 matches.

In the UEFA Conference League — Final match that will kick off, my support is more towards West Ham United.
Although it is difficult to give a prediction, for me the players in West Ham's line-up are superior to Fiorentina.
Then, I also consider that West Ham United can beat Fiorentina from the fast game that will be demonstrated by them.
Bowen and Behrama will be players that will be difficult for Fiorentina defenders to stop.

Hopefully it won't be a boring finale.

I think the teams that are competing in the Conference League have the same quality and only teams in the best leagues in Europe are able to qualify for the finals because they are already participating in a very competitive competition. West Ham and Fiorentina certainly have fairly balanced strengths because it's difficult to find weaknesses in each of these teams. But I really hope that Fiorentina can win the final, because now the prestige of Serie A must be at stake and La Viola has a great chance to bring the trophy home to Italy.

It is definitely going to be a fun game, I know that a lot of people are looking into this like it is going to be an amazing thing but I can easily say that it may not be that much fun to watch. Fiorentina is not a marvelous club, they are not even decent at all, but that doesn't mean that we should be considering them any less worthy of this cup, they may win the last game, if they won enough to get here, they may win it as well.

West Ham on the other hand looks to be a bit better, and yet still not a great club to be fair, definitely not a team that makes anyone excited at all. Considering this is conference league, third division of European competitions, we should be happy about this at least, but it certainly doesn't feel like it is going to be fun game to watch.

In terms of the final ranking in the standings of each league, it is quite different, the number of defeats that the two teams have experienced in the domestic league is also very different, but I think it will not have much effect, that is why we see that the odds for the two teams are the same as determined by the bookmakers because the chances of the two teams are equally great to become winners, what will attract attention is whether this match will end at the normal time or have to go through the extra time or even to a penalty shoot-out, but I prefer West Ham to win this final through normal time with both teams scored. Most likely this will be Declan Rice's last game at West Ham, that will be his motivation to give the best for his club.

I really get sick of these posters. They aren't gambling and aren't even sports people. Just google team names and news, rewrite it with ChatGPT and post it. I really hope their campaign managers pay attention but it seems some have been in same campaigns for months and even years.

Anyway, today market on West Ham and Fiorentina is exactly same odds, on Sportsbet. For the first time, because all the way before that West Ham was the favorite by a tiny amount. That means more bets going on the English.

As much as I want a big final, I think this will be another very low scoring match, then penalties. No interesting bets?
