Team Analysis
Real Betis comes into the second leg against Kryvbas with a 2-0 advantage. Despite the win, they have shown some attacking struggles in recent La Liga matches, drawing twice against Girona and once against Alaves, scoring only one goal in those games. The team is dealing with several injuries, which has impacted their attacking capabilities. Manuel Pellegrini is likely to focus on maintaining their lead rather than pushing aggressively for more goals, utilizing his tactical flexibility to ensure progression.

Kryvbas has had a respectable start to their league season, earning seven points from their first four matches in the Ukrainian Premier League. Reaching this stage of the Conference League is a significant achievement for them, and they will aim to capitalize on this opportunity. The team is in good physical shape and is expected to start with aggressive pressing to try to overturn the deficit. However, their lack of experience at this level and the strength of their opposition pose significant challenges.

Head-to-Head
The first meeting between these teams ended in a 2-0 victory for Real Betis in Ukraine. Betis showcased their experience, though they struggled to completely dominate the game. Kryvbas attempted to counterattack but failed to capitalize on their chances.

Prediction
Real Betis is expected to control the pace of the game, focusing on defense to preserve their lead. Kryvbas will likely attempt to score early to inject some uncertainty into the tie, but their chances of overturning the aggregate deficit are slim. The expected outcome is a 1-0 victory for Betis, with the game predicted to have fewer than 3.5 total goals due to both teams' recent low-scoring trends. Betis is also expected to win the battle on corners, given their home advantage and control over the game.

Pick: Kryvbas +2.5
