Petrocub vs Real Betis Prediction

It has been a difficult conference league campaign for Petrocub so far as they have only managed to pick up one points in the league phase after four rounds of matches. The Moldovan side have been in mixed form in all competitions with that domestic results being somewhat up and down.

They now welcome Betis to Chisinau in what is arguably the toughest test they have faced so far. The Spanish side have only picked up four points themselves so far but their quality of opponents has been pretty strong. They have lost away to Legia Warsaw and Mlada Bolesav while their four points came by a win at home to Copenhagen and a draw with Celje.

Betis have a lengthy list of absentees right now which is not helping their cause when they need to rotate. Manuel Pellegrino is without Bellerín, Mendy, William Carvalho, Marc Roca, Fornals, Rui Silva and Juanmi through injury while Lo Celso is suspended.

That may see him field more regulars than he would want but they will surely look to kill this game early and then make changes. Everything Pellegrino has said in the build-up to this match suggests they are taking it seriously and going all out for the win and we fancy their chances of doing just that. We expect Betis to take control early and manage this game to victory.
