Real Betis and Chelsea have each enjoyed strong campaigns, earning a spot in the 2024-25 UEFA Conference League final. Now, both clubs face the chance to cap off their seasons with a coveted European title, a major addition to their trophy cabinets. Find out here the predicted lineups.
Real Betis and Chelsea are set to meet in the 2024/25 UEFA Conference League final at Tarczynski Arena Stadium in a clash that carries significant weight for both sides. After having solid domestic campaigns, each club sees this game as a final opportunity to crown their season with an European trophy.
Chelsea have found new energy under the guidance of their coach Enzo Maresca. The arrival of the Italian manager has injected fresh life into their project. Despite spending millions, the team now seems to have found a clear path forward. Cole Palmer has emerged as their most influential player. He has been a key figure in their revival and their strong UEFA Conference League performance.
Real Betis, on the other hand, have been building their sporting project for five years. Despite facing multiple financial challenges, coach Manuel Pellegrini has established a well-organized squad. The team recently eliminated the Italian side Fiorentina in the Conference League semifinals. Key players like Johnny Cardoso, Isco Alarcon, and Antony Santos have been central to their success.
With that, Pellegrini has built a highly consistent team. Betis finished in 6th place in LaLiga, which gives them a chance to qualify for European competitions. Additionally, they now have their best opportunity to win their first European title in club history. This situation stands in stark contrast to their English counterparts, who have already secured two UEFA Champions League trophies.
Chelsea’s expected lineup vs Real Betis
After a season marked by injuries, Chelsea head into the UEFA Conference League final with a fully available squad, as Nicolas Jackson returns from a two-game suspension and Christopher Nkunku is fit again after injury. With a healthy roster at his disposal, manager Enzo Maresca will be relying on his talented group to secure the coveted trophy.
Looking ahead to the final, this could be Chelsea’s lineup: Filip Jorgensen; Reece James, Tosin Adarabioyo, Lewi Colwill, Marc Cucurella; Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez; Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke; Nicolas Jackson.
Real Betis’ expected lineup vs Chelsea
Ahead of the upcoming final game, Manuel Pellegrini will be without three key players: Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, and Hector Bellerin. However, there are still several important figures with injury concerns: Ezequiel Avila (hamstring injury), Fran Vieites (calf injury), Youssouf Sabaly (shoulder injury), and Giovani Lo Celso (hamstring injury) are all in doubt for the match. While none of them are ruled out, they may not be at full fitness.
Given the situation, Real Betis may still have to rely on Youssouf Sabaly, as Hector Bellerin is officially ruled out. With that in mind, their lineup could look like this: Adrian; Youssouf Sabaly, Marc Bartra, Natan, Ricardo Rodriguez; Johnny Cardoso, Fornals; Antony Santos, Isco, Abde; Cedric Bakambu.
