Real Betis vs. Chelsea: Europa Conference League Final Tips

After achieving Champions League qualification on the final day of the Premier League season, Chelsea will look to keep spirits high with a trophy win on Wednesday night, facing Real Betis.

Ben's Bets for Real Betis vs. Chelsea

At the time of writing this, the lineups were not available, so I have tried to make some assumptions about the lineup, whilst only tipping players I think will start. It is worth stating here that I would not advise placing any bets until the lineups are out for both teams.

So, feel free to use my tips, or stray slightly with them when making your own selections. But let's dive into my reasoning.

Under 9.5 Corners

I regularly look at the corner markets, and here I think I've found some great value with nine or fewer corners available at Evens on Bet365.

Chelsea averaged just four corners against them per game in the Conference League this season, whilst Real Betis averaged just 0.6 fewer, so already, we're looking rather strong, I feel. Furthermore, only 31% of Betis' games have had 10 corners or more, which is again in our favour.

With this being a final, it may be a slightly more cagey affair and at Evens, I'm happy to take this price on.

Tosin Adarabioyo to Have 0.5+ shots

One of the big reasons why I expect Betis to try and avoid corners is their record from set-pieces. Of their past 10 goals conceded, five have been from these settings, with three of them being corner goals.

Furthermore, in their past five games, they have conceded 10 shots against central defenders, which is another really enticing statistic. So I think that Adarabioyo, despite not taking many shots this season, could be a threat from set pieces here.

I was half-tempted to tip him to get a shot on target, which is around the 4/1 mark, with some bookmakers, and it could be worth considering.

Under 5 Cards

I was really surprised to see this market open at this price in complete honesty, and I am getting on board with it for this reason.

Chelsea come into this game with an average of 1.36 cards per game, and whilst Betis' record is slightly higher, I am not too fearful of this being a massively card-heavy game. In addition to this, the referee for this game is Irfan Peljto, who has averaged 3.14 cards per game this season, lower than his total average.

Enzo Fernandez to Score or Assist

This is admittedly a bit more of a risky pick. However, with Real Betis' issue with set pieces, I am quite fond of the idea of Enzo Fernandez getting a goal or assist. Initially, I was considering Cole Palmer, but his odds are too low to make it worthwhile for me - he would be the lowest option of the four picks - and he is not expected to start.

Instead, we get the insurance of a goal or assist with Enzo, who has seven contributions in seven Conference League games this season, which is a nice record anyway. Betis have clear defects in defence, and are vulnerable to shots from range, and the Argentine could certainly capitalise.

Furthermore, as a set-piece taker, we are getting a little bit of extra value here, and I am happy to play this bet.

Chelsea to Win and Score First (Bet Builder)

For my final pick of this game, I'm getting on board with Chelsea to win, which is already at a nice enough price of around 5/6. However, I'm then going to boost it with the Blues to score first to take us to 2/1.

Real Betis concede goals for fun at the moment, and I think against a good Chelsea side, they may be picked apart, as they were against Atletico Madrid last month. The 'home' side have conceded in 14 of their last 15, and there should be no issues here for Enzo Maresca's men.

I think the London outfit have a real chance of running rampant here, so scoring first should be no problem.
