Bookies for Conference League football rate Real Betis as the underdog, offering them odds of 4.75 (15/4). Chelsea are favourites with odds of 1.80 (4/5). Real Betis vs Chelsea odds for a draw are priced at 3.50 (5/2).
The teams last met in the 2005 Champions League group stage, with each side winning their respective home match over the two legs.
This will be Real Betis’ first major European final in club history. They’re also the first Spanish team to reach a UEFA Europa Conference League final. Los Verdiblancos finished second in their group with ten points from six matches, winning three games. That forced them into the knockout play-offs, where they beat Gent 3-1 on aggregate. They then overcame Vitoria Guimaraes and Jagiellonia Bialystok to progress to the semi-finals. Against Fiorentina, Betis triumphed 4-3 on aggregate after extra time in the second leg.
Pellegrini’s men eliminated two-time runners-up Fiorentina to seal a place in the final. In La Liga, Betis’ form recently dipped with draws against Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano. A 4-1 loss to Atletico Madrid dented their late push for Champions League qualification. Still, a top-six finish ensures Europa League football again for the 2025–26 season. They now seek a first-ever European title to crown a memorable campaign.
Ávila, Bellerín, Llorente, and Roca are ruled out, while doubts remain over Vieites (calf) and Sabaly (shoulder), leaving Pellegrini with key fitness concerns ahead of the final.
Chelsea cruised through the group stage, winning all six matches without dropping a single point. They extended that form by defeating FC Copenhagen in the last 16 with relative ease. A 3-0 aggregate lead over Legia Warsaw nearly slipped, but they advanced despite losing at home. Enzo Maresca’s men regained complete control with a dominant 5-1 aggregate win over Djurgarden. The Blues finished fourth in the Premier League, after a 1:0 win over Nottingham Forest on the final matchday. They will compete in the Champions League next season.
With their only loss to Newcastle in recent weeks, Chelsea are peaking at the perfect time ahead of this European final. The Blues have faced Spanish teams 51 times, more than any other nation in European competition. Their last four meetings with a Spanish side were all against Real Madrid, ending in Champions League elimination for the Blues. They will now aim to cap an average season with silverware and restore pride at Stamford Bridge. Most Predictions for the Conference League Final 2025 expect them to claim the title.
Fofana, Datro, and Kellyman remain out, while Guiu and Nkunku have resumed training but remain doubts.

Chelsea has a proud European record, succeeding in all major UEFA competitions. They’ve won their last four European finals, including Champions League triumphs in 2012 and 2021. Their only loss in seven finals came on penalties to Manchester United in 2008. The Blues have won all of their last eight matches in all competitions. Maresca’s side has claimed victory in 11 of 12 Conference League games this season. Meanwhile, Betis enters their first European final without a win in their last eight matches. With experience and excellent form, Chelsea are primed to triumph in this match.

Both sides possess the attacking quality to make this final an entertaining goal-fest. Chelsea have netted 38 Conference League goals, breaking Fiorentina’s 2022/23 record of 37 strikes. Real Betis’ last ten matches have all ended with both teams getting on the scoresheet. Two of Chelsea’s last three Conference League games have also featured goals at both ends. With firepower on display, Wednesday’s final promises goals from both teams. This option comes with UECL Final 2024-25 odds of 1.83 (4/5) on EU sports betting sites.

Antony has enjoyed a resurgence at Betis since his January move from Manchester United. The Brazilian has scored 10 goals across competitions, including four in the Conference League. He netted in both legs of the semi-final clash against Fiorentina, proving his importance. Antony also scored the equaliser versus Valencia in Betis’ final La Liga fixture last Friday. The Brazilian winger will be hungry to strike against a familiar foe when both sides meet on Wednesday.
