Jagiellonia Bialystok vs Real Betis Predictions

• Real Betis have won four of their last five away games, and their last three Conference League road trips
• Jagiellonia have scored multiple goals in four of five home Conference League games and are unbeaten at Chorten Arena since August
• Cedric Bakambu has scored six goals in his last six Conference League appearances

Betis look to finish the job in Poland

Real Betis travel to Białystok with a 2-0 first-leg advantage and a strong record on the road, which should carry them past Jagiellonia into the Europa Conference League semi-finals.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side were on a nine-match unbeaten run (featuring seven wins) before a narrow league defeat to Villarreal on Sunday, and their European form has been particularly impressive. Betis thrashed Guimaraes 4-0 in Portugal and swept aside Gent 3-0 in Belgium in previous rounds.

The Verdiblancos’ squad is missing a few names—William Carvalho and Cucho Hernandez are ineligible, while Ez Abde and Avila are likely out—but key men like Isco, Giovani Lo Celso, and first-leg scorers Cedric Bakambu and Jesus Rodriguez are available. Betis’ experience and depth give them a clear edge on paper, and their ability to control games on the road, as shown in a recent 1-1 draw at Barcelona, suggests they are well equipped to manage the tie.

Jagiellonia’s fortress faces its toughest test

Jagiellonia Białystok are enjoying a historic European run and remain unbeaten at home since August, a streak that includes seven consecutive wins before a recent 1-1 league draw.

The Polish champions, led by top scorer Jesús Imaz and Conference League top marksman Afimico Pululu, will give it a go in front of their home fans but it is a huge ask to overturn a two-goal deficit against the in-form La Liga outfit.

Although they have won four of their five home Conference League games with multiple goals in each victory, they lost 1-0 when Bodo/Glimt and 4-1 when Ajax visited Chorten Arena in the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers last summer. Both teams have the tools to score, but Betis’ experience and form tip the balance in their favour.
