Latest Real Betis vs Jagiellonia football review
Betis continue to nurture hopes of winning a first European title in their history after progressing through two knockout rounds, despite finishing only 15th in the group stage.
They won 3-1 on aggregate against Gent in the play-offs, then overcame Vitoria Guimaraes in the round of 16, despite being held 2-2 at home. The Andalusians then easily won 4-0 in the return leg in Portugal to reach the quarter-finals of a European competition for the first time since a 5-2 defeat to Chelsea in the 1997–98 Cup Winners' Cup.
Manuel Pellegrini's side head into Thursday's game in high spirits, having gone eight games unbeaten in all competitions, including seven in La Liga.
In fact, they had won six league games in a row before drawing 1-1 with leaders Barcelona last weekend, in which Natan scored his first La Liga goal to level the score after Gavi's strike, keeping Betis in sixth place, level on points with Villarreal (5th).
Turning their focus to the Conference League, Betis can be confident with a record of only losing the first leg in three of their last 17 knockout ties in European competition.
Jagiellonia made history in the Conference League this season by reaching the knockout stages for the first time, after finishing ninth in the group stage – only missing out on the top eight on goal difference.

The Polish team did not encounter many difficulties in the first knockout round when they beat TSC with the same score of 3-1 in both matches, thereby earning the right to meet Cercle Brugge in the round of 16.
After a 3-0 first-leg win against a 10-man side, Jagiellonia were left with some trepidation after conceding two goals in 50 minutes in the return leg. However, they held firm to maintain their advantage and book their place in the quarter-finals.
Adrian Siemieniec's men will now face Betis for a place in the semi-finals, where Celje or Fiorentina await.
Since their trip to Belgium, Jagiellonia have won two of their next four competitive games (D1 L1), including a 1-0 win over Wisla Krakow to claim their second Polish Super Cup in the club's history.
Despite losing two of their last three away games in the Conference League, Jagiellonia have never lost the first leg away from home in their previous five European knockout ties (W4 D1).
