When referring to Chelsea's play in their last five and the lesser break than Real Betis, perhaps it is not a serious obstacle despite the effect on player fitness and I still believe that Chelsea's potential to triumph in the final match is still in my hands.
From the Real Betis line-up, what needs to be anticipated is not Antony, but Isco. Antony is too easy to express his game.
As for betting, I think the final will go under.
Why under, because Real Betis and Chelsea will play a cautious game considering Chelsea has a good defense.

Chelsea are clearly a class above and in much better form than Betis. Maybe the extra rest before this match will have some impact, but it will not be as significant as it might seem. The Conference League might not be the most prestigious tournament, but when you reach the final, you should not be asking yourself how important it is. If you have made it this far, you have to win and lift the trophy.

I believe Maresca shares this mentality as well, having worked with Guardiola for a long time as both are maximalist coaches who always aim for the highest result. So regardless of how prestigious this competition is, they will want to win it.

Almost no one can argue with what you said because when we are in the final, we no longer think about how important the competition is, only how the trophy can be lifted.

Enzo Maresca was relatively successful in his first season in charge of Chelsea because he was able to return Chelsea to the top four and qualify for the Champions League. This European Conference League final with the provision of having led Leicester to the top of the Championship standings for the 2023/24 season will make me believe that Chelsea can party with the mentality possessed by Maresca and Chelsea.
