Betis is on its best run in Europe
Betis with six games unbeaten is having its best streak with four wins and two draws, the team is close to equal its best streak of seven games which it achieved from September 2018 to February 2019, a win today would make it equal the record.

Helsinki suffers from visiting
Helsinki have lost six of their last eight away games and have conceded five goals without scoring in their last two matches, which is one of the reasons for their early elimination.
Betis undefeated at home
The Spanish team has not been defeated in eleven home games in the Europa League group stage, with six wins and five draws, and has not conceded a goal in six of those eleven matches, Helsinki has its work cut out for it.
Helsinki can't handle teams from Spain
Helsinki has not been able to defeat Spanish clubs after three games played, in total the team has two defeats and a draw, scoring eleven goals against, which gives an average of 3.7 goals per game, today they have a complicated test visiting Betis.

Watch out for this Helsinki player
Bojan Radulovic, striker, in the current season is the top scorer of the team with eleven goals in different competitions, in total 35 games played, the player came to the team this year and apparently has had a great adaptation, to close his season he will surely like to say goodbye by scoring a goal against Betis.
Watch out for this Betis player
Borja Iglesias, 29-year-old striker, the experienced forward is having a great season scoring eight goals in twelve LaLiga games, the player is a reference in the team and this season his goals have helped the team to be in the fight for a ticket to the Champions League, in Europa League he has not scored, but in the next round his goals will be fundamental.

Background
The first match between Betis and Helsinki ended with a two-nil win for Betis, now five rounds later they meet again with very different panoramas, one leading the group and the other with no chance of advancing is closing its season.
Arbitration quartet
Central: William Collum. Assistants: David McGeachie and Alan Mulvanny. Fourth official: David Dickinson.
Helsinki a contrasting team
The modest Helsinki team is dominating the local league which has twelve teams in competition, the previous year also finished in first position, by winning the competition they had access to participate in the Europa League, but in this edition it seems that they are not enjoying it, the team in five rounds has only scored one point and has only scored one goal, With their elimination complete, the only thing left to do is to say goodbye in the most dignified way and that would be to take points from the group leader, a very complicated duel at Betis' stadium, but the best satisfaction would be to take points from them, the last duel in Europe they lost to Roma with a score of 2-1 and in the Playoff they lost by the minimum leaving them out.
Betis has a great season
Betis is going through one of its best seasons by competing in the top places of LaLiga and Europa League, the team without so many changes in the squad has achieved a balance that has allowed them to be four of LaLiga with 23 points, the same amount as Atletico Madrid who is third, in the Europa League their pace has been overwhelming maintaining the unbeaten in five rounds and adding 13 points, With the pass to the next round assured, the team will seek to continue with the good pace against Helsinki, surely the team will rotate, but the team is very experienced and surely will not have problems to add another victory, an extra for the team is to know that their main rival Sevilla is in the relegation zone and it is complicated to return to the European places.
Group C matchup
Group C of the Europa League is 50% defined, Betis and Helsinki already know their destiny and for the Spanish team there is no pressure in this last matchday, as they are leaders and no team can catch them, while Helsinki, with only one point, is not fighting for anything and can only prevent Betis from advancing undefeated in this group stage, Ludogorets and Roma will be fighting for the second position.
