The UEFA Conference League Final odds for 2024-25 favor a familiar name – Chelsea. Many expected the English side to go all the way, most based on squad depth and quality. Now, here the Blues are just a game away from the trophy.
They’ll face Spain’s Real Betis, who were second in the pre-tournament Conference League odds. They’ve also been one of the most entertaining sides in Europe since the transfer window closed in February. Can they ride that to their first European trophy?
Keep reading to find the latest champion odds, my analysis of the top teams, and my Conference League Final prediction.
2024-25 Conference League Final Odds
TEAM | MONEYLINE | SPREAD | TOTAL | TO LIFT TROPHY |
---|---|---|---|---|
Chelsea | -120 | +0.75 (-125) | Over 2.5 (-105) | -225 |
Real Betis | +365 | -0.75 (+105) | Under 2.5 (-115) | +185 |
Chelsea (-120) are coming off an English Premier League season where they finished fourth, which means they’ll be back in the Champions League next season. The Blues have an implied win probability of 54.5% to win the game at soccer betting sites, but they’re even bigger favorites to lift the trophy at -225!
Even if the match were to go to extra time or penalties, Chelsea still has a 69.2% implied win chance in the Conference League final.
Real Betis (+365) will be in the Europa League next season, but they’re sizable underdogs going into Wednesday’s final. Betis are given an implied chance of 21.5% to win the game in regular time, and it’s 35.1% (+185) to lift the trophy.
The Spanish team struggled in the new league phase of the tournament. However, they found their magic in the knockout phase, and now have a puncher’s chance in the final at Wrocław Stadium in Poland!

Chelsea – Will Blues Win Silverware in Maresca’s First Season?
Chelsea finished on top of the league phase table, winning all six of their matches, while scoring 26 goals and allowing five. They weren’t really troubled in the knockout phase, either, beating Copenhagen, Legia Warsaw, and Djurgardens IF along the way. Manager Enzo Maresca could lift a trophy in his first season in charge of Chelsea.

The Blues have used many of these games to give time to those that don’t get much in the Premier League. 19-year-old Marc Guiu is one of the competition’s top goalscorers with six goals, but the striker just returned from a hamstring injury.
This is a final, so Chelsea will likely go with their first-string players, such as Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, Moises Caicedo, and Enzo Fernández. Christopher Nkunku has scored five goals in the Conference League. He’ll also be available for selection after injury.
On paper, Chelsea have the stronger team. But despite finishing with the third-best defense in the Premier League, I have questions about them at the back. Levi Colwill is good in the middle, but he doesn’t have a partner set in stone. #1 keeper Robert Sanchez has also been shaky at times. Filip Jorgensen has been the man between the sticks in this competition, and should hold his place.
The Europa Conference League odds have Chelsea as deserved favorites, but they can be gotten at the back!
Real Betis – Can Betis Win First European Trophy?
Real Betis finished 15th in the league phase, and had to beat Genk to get into the Round of 16. From there, Betis defeated Vitoria de Guimaraes, Jagiellonia Bialystok, and Fiorentina. The semifinal against Fiorentina was a nail-biter as Betis needed an extra-time goal from Abde Ezzalzouli to get past the Italians.

Cedric Bakambu has scored seven goals in the competition, and the 34-year-old might keep his place for the final. Bakambu should be joined by Antony, who was a disaster at Manchester United. But the winger has been brilliant since joining Betis on loan in January. The Brazilian has scored nine goals, including four in the Conference League.
Former Real Madrid player Isco will likely also start in midfield, while the defense will probably be marshaled by Natan and Marc Bartra. Defender Diego Llorente will miss the game with a hamstring injury, but outside of that, Betis are healthy.
It’s just a matter of who starts in goal. Will it be #1 Adrian, or Fran Vieites, who has started all of Betis’ Conference League games? The answer might be made for Betis as Vieites has a calf problem.
The managers are close, as Betis’ head coach Manuel Pellegrini coached Maresca as a player at Malaga, and Maresca was an assistant to Pellegrini at West Ham. Can Pellegrini upset his protégé? Their Conference League winner odds are very enticing, especially to lift the trophy!
Conference League Final 2024-25 Prediction and Betting Pick
On paper, Chelsea is the more talented team. But since February, Betis has lost four times in 25 games. Chelsea had a terrible February, losing four of five games. Since then, Chelsea has lost just three times in 16 games.
The Blues’ attack has been inconsistent all season, but Betis hasn’t kept a clean sheet since a 2-0 win over Jagiellonis Bialystok in the first leg of their Conference League quarterfinal.
If Betis can drag Chelsea into a chaotic up-and-down match, I’m giving the edge to the Spanish side. Chelsea like to be more in control, while Pellegrini has allowed Betis to play a much more open game than he has with other teams he’s managed.
I’m going to take the odds and make Real Betis my Conference League winner prediction to win the game at +365, and to lift the trophy at +185! The value is on the underdog here, as the match should be closer than the lines suggest.
