The draw for the quarter-finals of the Conference League took place, sadly, without a Spanish presence. Villarreal’s elimination at the hands of Anderlecht has left La Liga without representation in the third most important European competition.
Two big favorites remain on the card, Fiorentina and West Hamand the news is both they were shunned to the supposed end on June 7 at the Fortuna Arena in Prague.
Lech Poznan (POL) – Fiorentina (ITA)
Basel (SUI) – Nice (FRA)
Ghent (BEL) – West Ham (ENG)
AZ Alkmaar (PBA) – Anderlecht (BEL)
The winner of Lech Poznan-Fiorentina will face the winner of Basel-Nice in the semifinals. The same will happen for the side of the box with which it is classified Ghent-West Ham and the winner of AZ Alkmaar-Anderlecht. It should be noted, as a curious fact, that there could be a Belgian derby in the semifinal.
Despite the bad time in the Premier League, West Ham, fourth bottom in the league, continue to be the favorites of the bookmakers. The ‘hammers’ come from the victory over AEK Larnaka against the Spanish José Luis Oltra with a 6-0 aggregate.
