Prediction: 2-0
HJK
Buoyed by a La Liga win over Villarreal, Real Betis will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on HJK in the Conference League round 6. Los Beticos survived Petrocub in their last Conference League game and they are seen as favourites to win Thursday’s clash as well. Giovani Lo Celso is back from suspension, while the likes of Bellerin, Carvalho, Fornals, Mendy, Roca, and Silva should miss out with injuries.
Helsinki, on the other hand, are on a three-game winless run in the Conference League. As Manuel Pellegrini’s men have been showing signs of improvement, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Speaking of the away team, Greece midfielder Georgios Kanellopoulos is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 2-2 draw with Molde. Atomu Tanaka is ready to step up.
