Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief after closing the final round of the Premier League, with a ticket to next season's Champions League. Now, coach Enzo Maresca and his team are completely leisurely heading towards the Conference League final.

Another win would see Chelsea end a three-year title drought, with their last title coming in the 2021-22 season.

But the challenge for Chelsea will not be simple. That is a Real Betis with extremely impressive form.

Despite failing to qualify for the Champions League, Real Betis still have a ticket to the Europa League next season thanks to finishing 6th in La Liga. In the past 3 months, Betis has lost only 2/21 matches in all competitions.

The destructive form of the Antony - Isco duo makes every defense feel discouraged. Coach Enzo Maresca will have a headache about choosing personnel to confront the technical players of Betis.

Even though he has the strongest squad (except for Lavia who was not registered), experts predict that coach Maresca will still use players who have fought in the Conference League since the group stage.

They are Gusto, Badiashile, Dewsbury-Hall, Sancho and Nkunku. Without a starting spot in the Premier League, these names will likely still replace Colwill, Caicedo, Palmer, Madueke, Neto... in the match tomorrow morning.

Bookmakers give Chelsea a handicap of 0.5 goals for the whole match and 0.25 goals in the first half. The over/under odds are 2.5 goals for the whole match and 1 goal in the first half.

These are all quite ideal numbers to choose the stronger and over team. However, experts highly appreciate Betis' chances.

According to Sportsmole's computer data, Betis's probability of winning the match in 90 minutes is up to 51.9%, while the corresponding figure for Chelsea is only 25.3%.

If using the reserve team, Chelsea is not rated higher than Real Betis. Especially Spanish teams are always highly rated in the finals.

Expected lineup:

Real Betis: Vieites; Sabaly, Bartra, Natan, R. Rodriguez; Cardoso, Altimira; Antony, Isco, Fornals; Bakambu.

Chelsea: Jorgensen; Gusto, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella; Dewsbury-Hall, Fernandez; Sancho, Nkunku, George; Jackson.

Prediction: Real Betis to win 1-0 at half-time, 2-1 on aggregate.
