- Competition: Conference League, 1/16 Finals, 2nd Leg
- Date: Thursday, 20th February, 2025
- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
- Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla)
After a 3:0 for Real Betis in the first leg in Belgium, Real Betis will welcome Gent in the second leg of the 1/16 Finals of the Conference League at Estadio Benito Villamarín in Sevilla.
Real Betis have been between fifth and seventh place in Spanish La Liga in recent seasons and are around their usual placement this year as well. Right now, the Andalusian team is in 8th place with 32 points from 24 matches - just three points away from European spots, but with one game played more than sixth-paced Rayo Vallecano. In the Conference League, they are really close to securing the 1/8 Finals and are among the favorites to win the title. The bookies see them as the third favorite, with the odds of around 8.0.
Gent were not among the best teams in Belgium last season, securing the continental competition through the Conference League Group. This season, they are in 6th place with 40 points from 26 rounds. Right now, they are in the Championship Group but only five points away from dropping to the Conference League Group. So, securing Europe will definitely be a challenge. When it comes to the Conference League, they will have a really challenging task, and no one really believes they can secure the next stage. The bookies offer odds around 50 for them to secure the 1/8 Finals.
Real Betis vs Gent pick: Over 2.5 goals
Real Betis have been really great offensively in recent games, scoring 10 goals in the last four matches - 2.5 per game. At home, they generally score a lot and have scored two or more goals in five out of the last eight matches. So, scoring at least a couple of goals is a very real scenario.
Lately, Gent played only high-scoring games, as their last three games finished with three or more goals with an average of 4.67 goals per game. Also, after a 3:0 loss in the first leg, they will have to open up, which could easily backfire on them.
Considering the previous h2h game and both teams' constant high-scoring games lately, we believe we will see another high-scoring game.

Real Betis team news
In the previous game against Real Betis, Angel Ortiz suffered an injury and had to leave the field after 75 minutes. He will most likely be sidelined for the ECL game, but he hasn't been a crucial member of the first eleven. We believe they have better options in Sabaly or Ruibal, who served his one-game suspension in the first leg and will be available.
William Carvalho, Pablo Fornals, and Hector Bellerin, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.
