Can They Upset Chelsea in Wroclaw?

Real Betis and Chelsea face off in the UEFA Conference League final on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at Stadion Wrocław in Poland. Chelsea have looked like the dominant force throughout the tournament, but now come up against their toughest test yet in Manuel Pellegrini’s well-drilled Betis side. Will Chelsea lift the trophy as expected, or can Los Verdiblancos cause an upset?

Betis come into the final well-rested — they played their last La Liga fixture on Friday, and with nothing left to play for in the league, Pellegrini was able to rotate and conserve energy. Chelsea, in contrast, played a high-stakes match on Sunday against Nottingham Forest, leaving them with only a little over 72 hours to recover and prepare for the final.

There’s the reason for Chelsea to be wary: Betis have shown this season they can trouble even the elite of Spanish football. They’ve held their own against Real Madrid and Barcelona, and boast standout individual talent such as Antony, considered by some as one of the top attacking players in world football.

Team News - Betis:

Manager: Manuel Pellegrini

Out: Héctor Bellerín, Diego Llorente, Chimy Ávila, Marc Roca

Doubtful: Giovani Lo Celso

Ineligible: Cucho Hernández, William Carvalho

Team news - Chelsea:

Manager: Enzo Maresca

Out: Roméo Lavia, Wesley Fofana, Mykhaylo Mudryk

Doubtful: Christopher Nkunku (subject to a fitness test before kickoff)

Route to the Final

Chelsea had a ridiculously easy path to the final; DIF was never any threat, compared to Fiorentina, whom Betis faced.

Chelsea has outscored their opponents by a wide margin, but stronger opponents have tested Betis in the knockout rounds. Pellegrini’s tactical experience and Betis’s balanced squad could make this much closer than the odds suggest.

With more rest, a motivated squad, and a smart game plan, Betis are very much in this final. Taking a position on their side of the market is a sensible play. Good luck!

他们能在弗罗茨瓦夫击败切尔西吗？

2025年5月28日，周三，皇家贝蒂斯和切尔西将在波兰Wrocław球场的欧足联决赛中对决。切尔西在整个比赛中看起来都是统治力量，但现在面对的是曼努埃尔·佩莱格里尼训练有素的贝蒂斯队，这是他们最艰难的考验。切尔西会像预期的那样捧起奖杯吗？还是红袜队会带来意外？

贝蒂斯在周五的最后一场西甲比赛中得到了充分的休息，在联赛中没有什么可踢的情况下，佩莱格里尼能够轮换并保存能量。相比之下，切尔西在周日与诺丁汉森林进行了一场高风险的比赛，他们只剩下72小时多一点的时间来恢复和准备决赛。

切尔西有理由保持警惕：本赛季贝蒂斯已经证明，他们甚至可以给西班牙足坛的精英们带来麻烦。他们在对阵皇家马德里和巴塞罗那的比赛中表现出色，并拥有像安东尼这样杰出的个人天赋，安东尼被一些人认为是世界足坛顶级进攻球员之一。

团队新闻-贝蒂斯：

经理：曼努埃尔·佩莱格里尼

出局：hacimtor Bellerín， Diego Llorente, Chimy Ávila, Marc Roca

可疑：乔瓦尼·洛·塞尔索

不合格：库乔Hernández，威廉·卡瓦略

球队新闻-切尔西：

经理：恩佐·马雷斯卡

出局：romsamo Lavia， Wesley Fofana, Mykhaylo Mudryk

怀疑：克里斯托弗·恩昆库（开球前需要进行体能测试）

决赛之路

切尔西进入决赛的道路出奇地轻松；与贝蒂斯面对的佛罗伦萨相比，迪夫从来都不是什么威胁。

切尔西在进球上远远领先对手，但更强大的对手在淘汰赛中考验了贝蒂斯。佩莱格里尼的战术经验和贝蒂斯平衡的阵容可能会让这比想象的更接近。

有了更多的休息，一个充满动力的阵容，一个聪明的比赛计划，贝蒂斯很有可能进入决赛。站在他们这边的市场是明智的选择。好运！
