Real Betis vs Chelsea Conference League Final prediction, odds, tips & team news | OneFootball

Chelsea will be looking to complete the European set when they take on Real Betis in the Conference League Final at the Wroclaw Stadium on Wednesday 28th May at 8pm.

The Blues have been heavy favourites for the competition since they entered, but Real Betis will be looking to spoil the party in their first European final. This game will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1.

Real Betis to score first (7/4 with Betfair)

Real Betis have scored the opening goal in each of their past six Conference League games, doing so in 15 of their 17 overall matches in the competition this season (including qualifying).

Cedric Bakambu to score or assist (21/10 with Paddy Power)

Only one player has been directly involved in more goals in the Conference League this season than Cedric Bakambu (seven goals, two assists). That player is NK Celje’s Svit Seslar, who notched two goals and eight assists. Eight of Bakambu’s direct goal involvements have come in the knockout rounds, with six goals and two assists — his latest was setting up Abdessamad Ezzalzouli’s opener in the semi-final first leg against Fiorentina.

Real Betis vs Chelsea odds

How both teams go into Real Betis vs Chelsea

This is history for Real Betis, whatever happens. The Spanish club are in the final of a major European competition for the first time in their history. And they’ve had to work for it. Real Betis finished 15th in the group with 10 points from their six games, winning three. That meant they had to go through the knockout phase play-offs, beating Belgian side Gent 3-1 on aggregate. Real Betis have since knocked out Portugal’s Vitoria Guimaraes, Jagiellonia Bialystok of Poland and Italian giants Fiorentina en route to the final. The latter saw the second leg go to extra-time, with Real Betis pipping Fiorentina 4-3 on aggregate.

If they win here, Chelsea will be the first team to win the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League — a record that no big clubs will realistically want to match, but one to be proud of nonetheless. The Blues went perfect in the group stage, winning each of their six games, and they carried that record through their last-16 win over FC Copenhagen. Chelsea then beat Legia Warsaw across two legs in the quarter-finals, but they did lose at Stamford Bridge — having been 3-0 up on aggregate. Enzo Maresca’s side were a lot more comfortable in their 5-1 aggregate win over Swedish side Djurgarden in the semi-finals.

Real Betis team news

Real Betis could have a lengthy injury list for this match. Diego Llorente is definitely out, while there are also major doubts over Ezequiel Avila, Hector Bellerin and Marc Roca. Gio Lo Celso and Youssouf Sabaly are also carrying knocks and need to be assessed.

Chelsea team news

Wesley Fofana is out long-term, but the centre-back wasn’t included in the Conference League squad anyway. Christopher Nkunku is back in action, meaning Enzo Maresca should have a full squad to choose from.

Real Betis vs Chelsea head-to-head

This will be the fifth meeting between these two sides, and the first for almost 20 years. Real Betis won the most recent match, in the 2005-06 Champions League group stage, but Chelsea won the previous three.

The most recent Chelsea win in this fixture came during the 2004/05 Champions League group stage. Goals from Didier Drogba, Ricardo Carvalho, Joe Cole and Hernan Crespo sealed a 4-0 victory for the Blues, who were managed by Jose Mourinho.

Real Betis have played eight previous matches against English clubs, but have only won one of them; that aforementioned Champions League victory against Chelsea in November 2005.
