Jagiellonia
The Polish side could not counter the Sevillians on their home turf and lost 0-2. This was the second consecutive defeat for Adrian Semenets' team in this European competition. To advance to the next round of the Conference League, Jagiellonia needs to defeat the Spanish team by a large margin. If the Poles manage a two-goal victory, extra time will be played.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 8 of Jagiellonia's last 11 matches in this tournament.
- In 6 of Jagiellonia's last 8 Conference League games, the first half ended in a draw.
- The team has not conceded in the second half in their last five home matches in this European competition.
Predicted lineup for Jagiellonia (4-3-3)
Slavomir Abramovich – Dusan Stoinovich, Mateusz Skrzypczak, Enzo Eboss, Joao Gervasio Moutinho – Leon Flak, Taras Romanchuk, Miki Villar – Darko Churlinov, Afimico Pululu, Jesus Imaz.
Midfielder Michal Sacek and defender Adrian Dieguez will miss the match due to injuries.
Real Betis
The Spaniards outperformed their opponent in the first match but only managed a 2-0 victory. It is worth noting that according to xG, the Sevillians had chances for 3.35 goals. In the return leg, the team will be satisfied with a draw or even a one-goal loss. If Betis succeeds over two legs against the Polish side, they will reach the semi-finals of a European competition for the first time this century.
- In the last seven Conference League games, the Sevillians have suffered only one defeat (5 wins and 1 draw).
- At least one team failed to score in 6 of Betis' last 7 matches in this European competition.

Jagiellonia vs. Real Betis: Match Prediction
The last visit to Poland ended in defeat for the Spaniards. Recall that in the group stage of the Conference League, the Sevillians faced Legia and lost narrowly (0-1). Overall, in this European competition, Manuel Pellegrini's side has played seven away matches, securing four wins, one draw, and two losses. However, only Gent was a significant opponent that they managed to defeat.
Jagiellonia has yet to lose at home in the Conference League. The team has played five home matches in this tournament, winning four and drawing one. Moreover, the Poles have conceded only one goal in these encounters. With such a solid defense, even an in-form Betis will find it challenging to overcome. Therefore, I predict that the hosts, backed by their fans, will manage not to lose.
My prediction – "Jagiellonia Win or Draw"
