Match Facts

  • This is the first ever European meeting between Real Betis and FC Utrecht - the Spaniards have won their two previous home major European games against Dutch teams, beating Willem II 3-0 in November 1998 and AZ 2-0 in February 2006, both in the UEFA Cup.

  • FC Utrecht have lost all three of their previous major European matches against Spanish opponents, losing both legs in the last 32 of the 1991-92 UEFA Cup against Real Madrid and 2-0 to Real Zaragoza in the 2004-05 UEFA Cup group stage.

  • Real Betis have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three UEFA Europa League matches (W2 D1) - they've never previously kept four clean sheets in a row in major European competition.

  • FC Utrecht's four UEFA Europa League games this season have seen just six goals scored in total (1 for, 5 against), the joint fewest of any side along with Bologna's games. Only three sides have attempted fewer shots than Utrecht this season (39).

  • Real Betis' Antony has had a hand in three goals in his last three UEFA Europa League appearances (2 goals, 1 assist) - he also scored in his last appearance against FC Utrecht, doing so for Ajax in an Eredivisie victory in January 2022.
