UEFA Europa Conference League

Betis are fancied to lift the trophy in Wroclaw

Ste Tudor picks out three Bet Builders for Wednesday's UEFA Conference League final as well as leaning into the Opta stats for the big match...

Enzo Maresca's Chelsea can carve out a slice of history this Wednesday by becoming the first club to win all five of UEFA's major men's competitions. Real Betis, meanwhile, are competing in their first continental final.

This disparity in European experience is undoubtedly a factor as a date with destiny in Wroclaw, Poland, hones into view but there are many others too. Discipline - or a lack of it - could be key. The Spanish side's unsurpassed shot-count is another consideration.With so many angles to explore and acknowledge, Bet Builders are the way to go this week, with three highighted below, at odds ranging from 6/1 to 88/1.

All tips are informed by a close study of the Opta stats for Wednesday's big match.

Bet Builder #1 - Back Ezzalzoul shots in 6/1

No team have taken on more shots in the competition than Real Betis (233), while only Djurgarden forward Nguen has had more attempts on goal than Cedric Bakambu (36). Backing both team and player therefore in the shots market appears to make a lot of sense.

But while backing Los Verdiblancos to register four or more shots on target is a decent addition to any multiple bet - after all, they have exceeded this figure in each of their last nine Conference League outings - I'm going against Bakambu here, for the simple reason that the 34-year-old's shot-count is decreasing of late.

He registered just one attempt on goal apiece in Betis' semi-final encounters with Fiorentina.

By stark comparison Anthony amassed seven efforts in the second leg, as too did Abde Ezzalzouli, remarkably after coming on as a sub on the hour mark. Factoring in extra-time that's a shot every 8.5 minutes for the Moroccan winger who is expected to start in Wroclaw.

As for goals, both teams have averaged two per game in their knock-out fixtures and there is too much firepower on the pitch to not be tempted by BTTS at decent odds.

Bet Builder #2 - Back first-half goals in 88/1 treble

Betis have won 5.93 corners per 90 in the competition compared to Chelsea's 4.92 but pertinently 17 of the Spaniards' last 25 have come in the second-half. It is the Blues who divvy up their set-pieces much better across each contest, their corner-count in the Conference League virtually a 50/50 split before and after the break.

Coming up with the goods both sides of the break also applies to Kieran Dewsbury-Hall and his shots-on-target tally. In two of his last four Conference League outings, the midfielder has troubled the opposition keeper in the first and second-half. He is a huge 16/1 to do likewise in Poland.

Lastly, early goals are fancied with both teams exceeding the overall competition average for goals scored inside the opening half-an-hour.

A third of Betis' goals have been converted inside 30 mins while Chelsea have struck early for 26.8% of their haul. The tournament average is 24.8%.

Bet Builder #3 - Back Isco fouls in 13/1 shot

Betis have committed more (185), and drawn more (181), fouls than any other side in the competition so discipline will almost certainly be a subplot on Wednesday evening.

Yet where it concerns individuals seeing yellow it is Tosin Adarabioyo who stands out. The Chelsea centre-back was cautioned in three of his last five Conference League showings.

Facing the multifarious attributes of Bakambu, Isco, Anthony and Fornals, the 27-year-old will be seriously tested throughout in the final.

For all of his creative endeavours, it is Isco who is fancied to commit multiple fouls, the Spanish international erring 14 times in his last six Conference League starts.

As for winning fouls, it is Isco again who grabs the attention, the veteran schemer impeded every 33 minutes since Betis' round of 16 second-leg against Vitoria.
