The Europa Conference League has delivered drama aplenty across the continent and the semi-finals promise yet more entertainment.
Tournament favourites Chelsea travel to Sweden and take on Djurgarden in the first leg of their tie, while Real Betis host Fiorentina in a battle between two giants of the game. Fiorentina have finished as runner-up of this competition in each of the last two seasons.
So, read on for some more sports betting online tips for your bets on football, these ones focused on the upcoming Europa Conference League semi-final first legs.

Real Betis vs Fiorentina – Best Bets
Player to score or assist – Isco @ 2.05
When Isco is fully fit, there are still few playmakers in the world better than him. The Spaniard has played an hour or more in each of Betis’ last three La Liga matches, including 80 minutes in last Thursday’s 5-1 win over Valladolid. Isco scored in that match too, which means he now boasts 11 goals and seven assists in 25 matches across all competitions this season. Fiorentina have kept only one clean sheet in the last five and conceded three goals to Slovenian side Celje across two legs in the quarter-finals. If he is at his best, Isco could have a first-leg field day!
Real Betis to win and over 1.5 goals @ 2.06
If you are looking to increase the odds on a Betis win, this is a low-risk option. Each of Betis’ last nine matches has featured over 1.5 goals and in six of those games, the Spanish side scored over 1.5 goals by themselves. Furthermore, Fiorentina are the second-highest scorers in this season’s competition with 27 goals, so we could be in for a goal-filled match in Seville on Thursday.
Djurgarden vs Chelsea – Best Bets
Noni Madueke to score anytime @ 2.50
Madueke featured in only one of Chelsea’s Conference League matches before the quarter-final tie against Legia Warsaw. But he took the competition by storm when the Blues visited the Polish capital, netting two goals in a 3-0 win. While Maresca is likely to rotate his squad due to Premier League commitments, Madueke may be one of the big players kept in the XI. And if that is the case, it might be worth backing him to silence the Djurgarden fans.
Chelsea to win and over 3.5 goals in the match @ 3.00
On paper, this semi-final is a bit of a mismatch. Chelsea’s squad is worth 900 million euros more than Djurgarden’s and the Blues have also won two Champions League titles in the last 13 years. So if Chelsea play anywhere close to their best, they should ease past a team who currently sit 11th in the Swedish top-flight table after five rounds of matches. Maresca’s side have scored 33 goals in the Conference League this season, an average per game of 3.3.
