Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Lokotrans Arena will host Thursday’s football game between Mlada Boleslav and Real Betis. Andreas Brannstrom’s troops are on a three-game winless run in all competitions and it is no wonder they are seen as underdogs in this Conference League game. All Kozel, Kral, Marecek, and Masek are out of contention with injuries for the home side. Los Beticos, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 4-2 loss to Valencia.
The Andalusian outfit survived Celje in round 3, with Juanmi scoring the winner in the stoppage time, but beating Mlada Boleslav away from home is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Bellerin, Carvalho, Fornals, Isco, Johnny Cardoso, Mendy, and Roca are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while all Chimy Avila, Cedric Bakambu, and Giovani Lo Celso are pushing for a start.
