Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis should clearly beat HJK

Real Betis are way back in the Conference League table in 17th place and cannot finish in the top eight, but they only need a point to get into the play-offs and a win over HJK Helsinki will be theirs Improve position in this table.

And that’s exactly how we see it with the Spaniards 1/9 for victory at the Estadio Benito Villamarin after a nice little run of four games unbeaten.

With Manuel Pellegrini’s side such big favorites, it’s hard to find any added value, but there is a way to get a good result if you catch the Finnish side a little cold…

HJK were behind at halftime in their last two Conference League games, which were also their last two competitive games since the end of the domestic league in October.

So they have friendlies mixed in with the Conference League and that will affect how strong they are.

It’s March 20th for “No” on both teams’ goal market This means that we are effectively betting on a Betis win to nil – which is exactly the result of the last two meetings between the teams in the Europa League a few years ago (3-0, 2-0).

No, Betis are not rock-solid at home, but HJK failed to score in both away games in the Conference League and also in their last away game in the national league – so we are pretty confident that the Spaniards can keep up.

Cedric Bakumba, who scored the only goal in last week’s win over Petrocub in Moldova, is the man to look forward to finding the goals again 10/11 Anytime goalscorer.

He had a perfect record of three shots on target from his three attempts and his efforts should be rewarded with another start here.

Form counts in the competition, so Bakumba is looking to score another goal in the Conference League here.
