Chelsea are on a quest to become the first club in European football to secure all five major international trophies as they face off against Real Betis in the UEFA Conference League final taking place in Wroclaw this Wednesday.
The Blues have wrapped up their season on a high note, recently securing a Champions League spot after their victory over Nottingham Forest last Sunday. Enzo Maresca is eager to claim a trophy to mark his first year in charge.
Such a win would significantly uplift a youthful squad and mark the club’s first trophy since 2021, and their debut silverware in the post-Roman Abramovich era.
While their pathway to the final has been relatively straightforward, they will encounter their toughest opponent yet in Poland against Manuel Pellegrini’s squad, boosted by the January acquisition of Manchester United winger Antony.
Betis triumphed over Fiorentina in the semi-finals but are still 13/8 to win the final according to Bet365. Chelsea, predictably, are favored at 2/5, and 4/5 to emerge victorious after 90 minutes.
Here are our insights and tips to enhance your viewing experience for the match.
Betting tips, predictions, and odds for Chelsea vs. Real Betis
Check out our current betting suggestions and odds for the UEFA Conference League finale. The stated odds are accurate as of publishing but may fluctuate as the match day approaches.
Chelsea to secure victory in 90 minutes and both teams to score — (14/5, betway)
The Blues have seamlessly advanced to the final with their opponents being less formidable compared to what they normally face domestically. Under Maresca, despite an array of player rotations, they have found the net 41 times across the 14 matches leading to the final.
With Nicolas Jackson returning and likely to be in the starting lineup, the Italian coach will have his first-choice attack ready and will be optimistic about clinching the win in regular time.
However, they should not underestimate Betis, who have both scored and conceded in nearly every one of their last 13 matches. With Antony in great form and possibly playing his last game for the team, his odds of 9/2 for an anytime goal at Paddy Power look tempting, as do Isco’s 4/1 with the same bookmaker.
Cole Palmer to score at anytime — (6/4, Paddy Power)
If Chelsea are to triumph within the regulation time, chances are high that Cole Palmer will be instrumental, aiming to conclude a tumultuous season on a positive note.
The 23-year-old has faced a challenging second season at Stamford Bridge, yet still managed to net 15 goals, even overcoming a goal drought of over 100 days prior to scoring in the Liverpool matchup in early May.
In recent weeks, his performance has seen an uptick, showcasing a knack for significant matches, having previously scored for England in the Euros final against Spain last summer.
We’re optimistic he can replicate that success against Spanish opposition and lead Chelsea to victory.
