🏆 Chelsea to Win 2-1
The Blues enter this match with superior European pedigree and momentum. Their narrow win at Nottingham Forest secured a Champions League spot, relieving pressure ahead of this final. That allows Maresca’s men to focus purely on the prize: history. Betis, on the other hand, limped across the La Liga finish line, failing to win any of their final four league outings.
Despite Chelsea’s recent European form being impressive—beating Djurgardens convincingly in the semis—their tendency to win by slim margins cannot be ignored. Their last three victories in all competitions were by a one-goal margin. A 2-1 result reflects Chelsea’s cutting edge going forward, balanced by some vulnerability at the back, especially with key defensive absences such as Fofana and Anselmino. Betis have shown they can be a threat, particularly through the likes of Antony and Isco, making them good for at least one goal.
With Chelsea’s firepower and Real Betis’s flair but inconsistency, the scoreline could favour a 2-1 win for the Premier League side—a fair blend of class and caution.

⚽ Christopher Nkunku to Score Anytime
Back from injury and likely to feature prominently in the final, Nkunku offers flair, creativity, and the kind of finishing that can turn a tight match. Although rested for the Forest game, Maresca previously declared the Frenchman fit, suggesting tactical rotation rather than medical concern. With Nicolas Jackson leading the line and drawing defenders, Nkunku can exploit space from deeper positions—his hallmark at RB Leipzig and early Chelsea appearances.
His return is timely, particularly with Mykhaylo Mudryk suspended and other options like Omari Kellyman unavailable. Nkunku could start or come on early, and his intelligent movement and sharpness in confined spaces are made for a final where margins are fine. With Betis stretched by injuries at the back—Bellerin, Roca and Llorente all missing—the door is open for a creative outlet to capitalise. Nkunku is a prime candidate.

225/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Chelsea to edge a tight 2-1 win, with Nkunku likely to feature and deliver up front. A competitive, high-stakes final promises cards on both sides, especially given Betis’ physicality. With two expansive teams, expect plenty of corners as both pursue attacking football. This combination delivers strong tactical value.

🟨 Over 5 Cards in the Match
European finals often bring tension, and the physicality of both sides makes this one ripe for disciplinary action. Real Betis, in particular, are no strangers to a combative style, as seen during their gritty, high-drama semi-final against Fiorentina. That match saw cards fly as emotions spilled over and tempers flared.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are not immune from yellow-card incidents, especially in matches of this magnitude. Enzo Maresca’s side have at times struggled with disciplinary control, particularly under pressure, and missing experienced campaigners could lead to mistimed challenges.
Add to that the unpredictable nature of European officiating—where referees can swing either lenient or strict—and the over on cards becomes a calculated selection. With both teams certain to push the intensity levels high, especially if the match is close, surpassing five cards feels a confident inclusion in this builder.
🚩 Over 12 Corners in Total
Both teams favour proactive attacking setups and have the personnel to stretch play wide. Chelsea will likely see plenty of the ball, particularly through the overlapping runs of Cucurella and Gusto, while Betis are no slouches when it comes to width, with Antony and Fornals operating in advanced roles.
Corner counts have been healthy for both clubs during the tournament. Chelsea, in particular, average well above five corners per game in European fixtures this season, and Betis aren’t far behind, often relying on set pieces to build pressure. With players like Isco drawing fouls and the overlapping Sabaly needing close attention, more corners are expected at both ends.
Given the aggressive pressing styles and wing-focused play, a figure beyond 12 corners is entirely feasible. Finals are typically cagey, but these sides are unlikely to sit back, especially with Chelsea chasing history and Betis seeking glory.
