Real Betis Hosts FC Copenhagen in Crucial UEFA Conference League Match

Real Betis and FC Copenhagen are set to clash in a pivotal Match Day 2 encounter of the UEFA Conference League on October 24, 2024. The match will take place at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in Seville, Spain, marking the first-ever meeting between the two teams in this competition.

Real Betis, known as *Los Verdiblancos*, are looking to bounce back from a disappointing start in the league phase. After successfully navigating the qualifying rounds, they suffered a 1-0 loss to Legia Warsaw in their opener. However, they have shown resilience by winning their latest match 2-1 against Osasuna, despite finishing the game with 10 men due to Bernardo Natan’s red card. Betis have been strong at home, with four wins in their last five matches at Villamarin, including three clean sheets.

FC Copenhagen, or *Byens Hold*, are also seeking to recover from their opening round defeat in the Conference League. They lost 2-1 to Jagiellonia but have since secured a 3-1 win over Velje in their domestic league. Copenhagen have a mixed record in Europe, with only one win in their last four European games, but they remain unbeaten in their last three away matches.

The match is expected to be tightly contested, with both teams aiming to secure their first points in the competition. Predictions suggest that Real Betis have a slight edge due to their strong home form, but Copenhagen’s ability to perform well on the road could make for an intriguing battle. The weather forecast indicates intermittent heavy rain, which may impact the quality of the game.

The match will be available for live streaming, and fans can watch it through various platforms. The kick-off time is set for 3:00 PM local time, and the referee for the match is Giorgi Kruashvili from Georgia, with Aleandro Di Paolo from Italy handling the VAR duties.
