Chelsea and Real Betis meet in the UEFA Conference League final on Wednesday night. Chelsea have enjoyed a strong finish to their 2024/25 campaign, securing Champions League football next season with a big 1-0 win on the final day vs Nottingham Forest. But despite their progress, defensive lapses continue to appear — they’ve conceded in several recent outings, even against teams they’ve largely dominated.
Betis enter the final with one of the most eye-catching trends in European football: Both Teams to Score has landed in 11 consecutive games, and in 14 of their last 15. Their attacking style under Manuel Pellegrini has been both entertaining and effective, but it comes at a cost. They press high, take risks, and leave space in behind — traits that make them susceptible defensively. With creative players like Isco pulling the strings, they’re more than capable of finding the net, but clean sheets have been few and far between. This is the first time Betis have a chance of winning a European trophy, this is a huge night for the club.
With both teams preferring to play on the front foot and neither defence looking entirely secure, the stage is set for a lively, goal-filled final. Chelsea have the quality to exploit Betis’s openness, while the Spanish side’s recent scoring streak suggests they won’t go down without finding the net themselves.
We are looking to pair the Both Teams to Score angle with Under 4.5 Goals. We see both teams scoring here, but we doubt the game will see 5 or more goals. Chelsea have seen U4.5 goals in 24/25 games, Real Betis have seen U4.5 goals in 21/24 games.
TIP: Both Teams to Score & Under 4.5 Goals @ 2.20
