Real Betis and Chelsea are set to clash in the UEFA Conference League final on Wednesday evening. With the 2024/25 La Liga and Premier League seasons now concluded, both teams have one last chance to secure silverware before the summer transfer window opens, following dry domestic spells.
Regardless of the outcome at Stadion Wroclaw, Betis have secured their place in next season's Europa League after finishing sixth in La Liga. Nevertheless, Los Verdiblancos remain hopeful of clinching this year's Conference League title after overcoming tough competition to reach the final. After securing 15th place in the group stage, Betis triumphed over Gent, Vitoria SC, Jagiellonia, and Fiorentina to set up a challenging final against Chelsea.
Meanwhile, under the stewardship of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League, guaranteeing them a spot in the 2025/26 Champions League, irrespective of Wednesday's result. However, having missed out on FA Cup and League Cup success, the Chelsea squad will be eager to claim some form of silverware as a testament to their efforts this season.
Chelsea topped the league phase of the Conference League and progressed directly to the round of 16, meaning they've played one fewer round than Betis en route to the final. After securing victories over Copenhagen, Legia Warszawa, and Djurgarden, the Premier League heavyweights are now focused on clinching one more win against their La Liga rivals.
