This is a Chelsea predicted lineup for their Europa Conference League final. The Blues will aim to go from strength to strength after nabbing fourth in the Premier League by defeating Real Betis who finished a distant sixth in their own league. Betis have arguably had the tougher run to get here after coming up against Fiorentina but the English side will be sure of their quality after strolling through the competition so far.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup vs Real Betis for Conference League Final
How Chelsea Have Lined Up Recently
Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen have split goalkeeping duties with the former Villarreal man the usual starter in this competition. In defence, Marc Cucurella, Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile, Tosin Adarabioyo, Trevoh Chalobah, Josh Acheampong, Reece James, Malo Gusto, and Moises Caicedo are all options depending on the opposition.

Caicedo and James have also played in the pivot where Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Romeo Lavia, and Enzo Fernandez are also options. The front four has featured a mix of Nicolas Jackson, Pedro Neto, Tyrique George, Noni Madueke, Jadon Sancho, and Cole Palmer.
Chelsea Recent Form & Tactics
Enzo Maresca has largely stuck with the base 4-2-3-1 into a 3-2-4-1 setup. The formation can change and shift based on personnel and availability into a 2-2-5-1 or even a 3-3-4. Against Nottingham Forest at the weekend instead of the usual names inverting they changed it to more of a back three with James at RCB while Madueke kept width on the right. This marked a shift from the diamond midfield where Cucurella moved into a number ten of sorts and the right back moved into the pivot.

The Blues have had a great run towards the end of the season having only lost twice in their last thirteen. The club’s defensive side has been pretty solid with a string of 1-0 wins, making them look like controlled winners. Scoring goals has at times looked difficult but they’ve balanced it out with solid defence to get results and they can score multiple times when needed as they put three past Liverpool and four past Djurgarden.
Chelsea Injuries to Consider
The club announced the travelling squad of available players. Names like Aaron Anselmino, Wesley Fofana, Lavia, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Marcus Bettinelli are either unavailable or unregistered for this competition.
