"Last seen in Europa League action securing an impressive 2-0 victory at home against Lyon, Manuel Pellegrini's men have their sights set on embarking on another iconic European fairytale this year. In fact, last season's Europa Conference League finalists have remarkably suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 14 consecutive appearances across all competitions - a purple patch that stems all the way back to August 31st."
"Getting their Europa League adventure underway with a toothless 1-0 loss at the hands of Lyon on September 25th, the former Twente boss finds his inconsistent squad scrapping it out at the foot of the table. Including a 2-0 defeat against Freiburg last month, the Dutch outfit have registered just a single point from any of their first four Europa League appearances."
Real Betis host Utrecht aiming to secure a Europa League knockout-stage berth. Real Betis have endured back-to-back 1-1 draws against Girona and Valencia but beat Lyon 2-0 in European action. Manuel Pellegrini's side suffered only one defeat in their previous 14 matches across competitions, dating back to August 31, and beat Mallorca 3-0 to start November. Utrecht won 2-1 against Ajax before the international break but have shown inconsistency, began their Europa League campaign with a 1-0 loss to Lyon, and have only one point from four group games after a 2-0 defeat to Freiburg.
