The UEFA Conference League final between Real Betis and Chelsea is set for 28 May 2025 at the Tarczynski Arena. Kick-off in Italy, Germany, France, and Spain is at 21:00 CEST, with fans in the UK tuning in at 20:00 BST.
This showdown marks the climax of Europe’s third-tier club competition, offering both sides a rare shot at continental silverware. The Tarczynski Arena will be buzzing as supporters from Andalusia and London converge for what promises to be a thrilling finale.
How are both teams coming into this?
Real Betis arrive in confident mood after a strong La Liga campaign and a thrilling route through the knockout stages. Their blend of technical flair and home-grown passion has powered them past some tricky opponents, and coach Manuel Pellegrini will look to replicate that attacking verve in the final.
Chelsea, by contrast, have navigated the Conference League with characteristic discipline and gritty performances. After missing out on Champions League football domestically, they have targeted this trophy all season. Under Mauricio Pochettino, they’ve tightened up defensively and picked up key victories on the road.
Our forecast
We expect a cagey first half as both teams feel each other out, with full-backs pushing high and midfield battles in tight spaces. Goals may be at a premium early on, but set-pieces could prove decisive.
In a match of fine margins, the value lies in a low-scoring affair. We’re backing Under 2.5 goals and a Draw at half-time for those looking to play the percentages. Should one side gain momentum after the break, Chelsea’s squad depth might just swing it in their favour.
