Real Betis vs Chelsea: Conference League final prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h, odds

Stage is set: Chelsea face Real Betis in Wroclaw tonight - (The Standard)

Chelsea and Real Betis face off tonight in the Conference League final.

After guaranteeing themselves a place in next season’s Champions League, the Blues can cap off an impressive campaign under Enzo Maresca by completing the set in terms of European trophies.

Twice winners of the Champions League and Europa League, the Conference League - a competition which was only introduced in 2021 - is the only missing piece from the west London outfit’s European collection.

Having started out as the red-hot favourites to lift the trophy, Chelsea are one game away from meeting those expectations and should be on a high following an impressive end to the Premier League season.

That said, 2025 has been the year of the underdog in cup competitions. Real Betis have never won a European trophy in their history but will be looking to take inspiration from the likes of Tottenham, Bologna, Crystal Palace, Newcastle and Aberdeen by causing a big shock.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Real Betis vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 8pm BST kick-off tonight, Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

The match will take place at Stadion Wroclaw in Wroclaw, Poland

Real Betis vs Chelsea prediction

The form book points to one outcome in Poland. Maresca’s side finished the Premier League season strongly, winning four of their last five games - including beating Liverpool, Man Utd and Nottingham Forest.

Meanwhile, Betis have failed to win any of their last four and suffered a heavy loss away at Atletico Madrid 10 days after overcoming Fiorentina to book their place in the final.

In keeping with the two European cup finals that have taken place in the past week and Chelsea’s recent mean streak defensively, it would not be a surprise if one goal settles this clash in favour of the Blues.

Chelsea to win, 1-0.
