The UEFA Europa Conference League culminates in an exciting final this week as Chelsea lock horns with Manuel Pellegrini's Real Betis side in an important encounter at the Stadion Miejski on Wednesday. Both teams have good players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Real Betis vs Chelsea Preview
Chelsea finished in fourth place in the Premier League standings and have stepped up to the plate so far this season. The Blues edged Nottingham FOrest to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Real Betis, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the La Liga table at the moment and have not been at their best over the past year. The Andalusian outfit played out a 1-1 draw against Valencia last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Real Betis and Chelsea are on an even footing as far as the head-to-head record is concerned and have won one match apiece out of the two games played between the two teams in European competitions.

Real Betis have a strong squad at their disposal but have flattered to deceive this season. Chelsea are the better team on paper and hold the upper hand going into this game.

Aditya is a European and international football writer at Sportskeeda, covering previews, news, post-match articles and live blogs for 5 years. During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.
Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.
The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
