Regarding Fiorentina, Nicolas Gonzalez is the man to follow. The Argentinian has scored 13 goals in all competitions, including four in the continental tourney. He’s followed by Lucas Beltran, who has scored 10 goals in all competitions, three in the ECL.
Both may not be among the sportsbook’s favorites to win the tournament, but winning the ECL guarantees you a spot in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. That should be enough motivation to go all in right from the start.
