West Ham are the slight favourites with the bookmakers ahead of their historic cup final clash with Fiorentina.

The London club have struggled to find their best form in the Premier League this season and they dropped seven places in the league table to finish 14th.

Despite their poor domestic form, they have thrived in Europe this season and they are unbeaten in the Europa Conference League. Their road to the final has seen them defeat the likes of AZ Alkmaar, KAA Gent, AEK Larnaca and Anderlecht.

Fiorentina have been mid-table in Serie A for the majority of the season but they have enjoyed a sensational campaign in the cup competitions.
