With two games to go in the league stage of the 2024-25 UEFA Conference League, Real Betis are in a rather precarious position. Manuel Pellegrini's team lost last time against Mlada Boleslav, and because of that, they are only in the play-off places (22nd). To make matters more worrying, they will be without the suspended Giovani Lo Celso for Thursday's game against CS Petrocub.
Lo Celso was sent off against Mlada Boleslav, which means he will not be involved in Moldova. He was originally handed a two-match ban which also prevented him from playing against HJK Helsinki on MD6, although as Marco they reported, his suspension was reduced to one game.
That match against HJK takes place next half week, and Betis will be determined to finish with two wins, as this provides a great chance to be seeded for the play-off draw. Lo Celso being available certainly gives Benito Villamarin a bigger chance.
