Betis Club, a representative from Spain, is considered to be "on par" with the representative from English football - Chelsea in the Conference League final in the early morning of May 29.
Chelsea's 1-0 win over Champions League contenders Nottingham in the final round of the Premier League is highly rated. The Blues' victory has brought them a ticket to the Champions League along with high excitement to enter the Conference League final against Betis.
That doesn't mean the English team is in good form. Chelsea's defense has never been highly trusted, especially goalkeeper Sanchez. This goalkeeper can make mistakes at any time when his footwork is unstable.
The most worrying thing is the decline in attack. In the last 4 matches, Chelsea have only scored 3 goals and no match has scored more than 1 goal/match. In these 4 matches, no attacking player of The Blues has scored. Both of their recent goals were scored by defenders Cucurella (against MU) and Colwill (Nottingham).

Chelsea's expected stars in attack such as Jackson have declined a lot after injuries. Palmer has been in decline since the beginning of 2025 and has only scored from the penalty spot (against Liverpool). Meanwhile, Sancho, Madueke and Neto have all played below expectations.
Faced with Chelsea's inconsistent form, Betis were given the opportunity by La Liga to play earlier and have 2 more days off than The Blues to ensure perfect fitness for the final. This gives them an advantage over Chelsea.

Betis players are very confident when facing Chelsea |
Chelsea coach Maresca himself is worried about his players' fitness, as they have to work hard to get a ticket to the Champions League, partly because they are worried about facing Betis - an opponent who is being given good conditions for the final match.
Betis is not afraid of Chelsea because they are also a team with great spirit in big matches. In 6 encounters with the 3 strongest teams in La Liga, Barca, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid this season, Betis only lost 2. And they also did not lose to Barca in both meetings this season.

The two teams have only met twice before – in the 2005/06 Champions League group stage, nearly 20 years ago. Chelsea won 4-0 at Stamford Bridge, before losing 1-0 away.
Chelsea are without Fofana and Nkunku (injured). Betis have the strongest squad, they are without Avila, Bellerin, Llorente and Roca (injured).
