New Delhi: Eyeing a rare European treble, Chelsea lock horns with Real Betis in the UEFA Conference League at the Estadio Municipal de Breslavia in Wrocław, Poland. The summit clash presents a great opportunity for both clubs to cap off their respective campaigns on a high.
Both teams have enjoyed a decent outing in their respective domestic leagues, with Chelsea securing a top-four spot and Betis clinching Europa League qualification after a sixth-placed finish in La Liga.
For the Premier League giants, it’s a chance to rewrite history books in Poland on Wednesday. A win would make them the first club to complete a historic European treble after previously winning the UEFA Champions League and Europa League titles.
Enzo Maresca’s side head into the contest as heavy favourites after a strong finish to the Premier League campaign, which ended with a top-four finish that sealed a ticket to next year’s UEFA Champions League.
Real Betis, on the other hand, finish in a commendable sixth place in La Liga and, after clinching a spot in next season’s UEFA Europa League, will be motivated to end the season with a European trophy.
Road to final
Chelsea defeated Legia Warszawa in the quarter-finals with a 3-0 first-leg win before breezing past Swedish side Djurgardens in the semi-finals to book a spot in the final.
Meanwhile, Real Betis, after suffering a shock loss to Legia Warszawa in the group stage, bounced back with a 2-0 home victory over Jagiellonia Białystok and a battling 1-1 draw in Poland to qualify for the knockout rounds. In the semi-finals, they edged past Fiorentina, denying the Italian side a third straight appearance in the final.
It will be an intense battle between a star-studded Chelsea team and Real Betis, who also boast proven match-winners in their squad. Former Real Madrid midfielder Isco and Antony, the Brazilian winger on loan from Manchester United, could pose a key threat to the Blues’ backline.
Head-to-head
In four previous meetings between the two sides, Chelsea hold the upper hand, with three wins to Betis’ one.
