Real Betis and Chelsea face off at the Stadion Wroclaw in Poland for the UEFA Europa Conference League final on Wednesday night — a first for Betis and a shot at history for the Blues.
After edging past all the big guys in the knockouts, Betis aim to lift their maiden European trophy. Meanwhile, Chelsea can become the first club to win all four major UEFA competitions with victory in Wroclaw.
🟢Betis Chase Glory in First European Final | Win = 4.48💵
Led by veteran tactician Manuel Pellegrini, Betis earned their place after a pulsating semi-final that saw Antony assist a last-gasp winner for Ezzalzouli in the 97th minute.
Despite ending their La Liga season winless in four games, Los Verdiblancos finished sixth to secure Europa League qualification, freeing them to go all in for the final.
Betis faced Chelsea in the 2005 UEFA Champions League group stages and managed a 1-0 win at home after losing 4-0 away at the Bridge in the first leg. Now, 19 years later, they seek a win of far greater importance.
🔵⚪Chelsea Gunning for UEFA Clean Sweep | Win = 1.94💵
Having already clinched Champions League qualification via a 4th-place Premier League finish, Chelsea arrives in Wroclaw with less pressure — but plenty of ambition.
This is Chelsea’s 13th European final, with eight wins so far. A Conference League title would complete their UEFA collection, joining the UCL, UEL, and Super Cup.
Maresca’s men breezed through Djurgardens IF in the semis and are unbeaten in their last eight continental games, despite some domestic inconsistencies.

Betis are without Hector Bellerin, Marc Roca, Diego Llorente, and Chimy Ávila due to injury. Lo Celso remains a doubt, while Youssouf Sabaly has returned to fitness.
