The UEFA Conference League Qualification stages continue this week with FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih set to host Real Betis as both sides look to book their place in the group stages.
This match is set to be the first game these two sides have played against one another in their history.
In fact, believe it or not, neither side has faced a team in the opposition's country. Hosts Kryvbas having never played Spanish opposition and Real Betis having never played Ukrainian opposition. This is set to be a very historic fixture.
The hosts Kryvbas are set to come into this game with no injury or suspension concerns whatsoever. Despite Oleksandr Romanchuk being sent off in his previous game he remains available instead carrying his suspension over to the next league fixture.
Real Betis started the season with plenty of injury issues and that still remains the case. Manuel Pellegrini's side are set to be without Isco, Nobel Mendy and Cedric Bakambu in this one.
FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih - Andriy Klishchuk, Andrii Poniedielnik, Oleksandr Romanchuk, Tymur Stetskov, Yvan Dibango, Djihad Bizimana, Yurii Vakulko, Denys Kuzyk, Maksym Lunyov, Oleg Kozhushko, Prince Kwabena Adu
Real Betis - Rui Silva, Hector Bellerin, Diego Llorente, Natan, Guido Rodriguez, Marc Roca, Johnny Cardoso, Abde Ezzalzouli, Nabil Fekir, Pablo Fornals, Ezequiel Avila
We would expect that Real Betis will have a strong grasp on this game but the player to watch has to be goalkeeper Rui Silva.
Silva made 10 clean sheets last season for Betis and heading into this game he has conceded just two goals in his last 3 games.
We would expect him to have a very good game in goal for Betis in this one.
Real Betis come into this game certainly the stronger side and they will be very eager to win this game comfortably in order to take a good advantage back to Spain.
Kryvbas in recent weeks have struggled in front of goal having failed to score in each of their last 3 games. Against a much stronger side in Betis we would expect those issues to continue.
That is why we are backing Real Betis To Win To Nil in this game. With odds of 11/8, £10 could return a potential £23.75 in this game making it our best value tip.
This game kicks off on Thursday 22nd August 2024 at 19:00 pm. However, unfortunately this game is unavailable to watch in the UK.
