First takes on last in Group C of the Europa league when Real Betis welcome HJK to Benito Villamarin in their final group tie on Thursday night.
The two sides have recorded very contrasting fortunes in the Europa League so far with Real Betis remain unbeaten so far, picking up four wins in their five games, while HJK remain winless in group, suffering four defeats in their five games.
Betis now sit at the top of the group six points in the clear, following their 1-0 away win over second-placed Ludogorets last week. Los Verdiblancos have already secured their place in the last-16, but they will want to end things in a style on Thursday.
HJK have nothing to play for in this tie and confidence seems to be low at their camp, having lost all their last three games across all competitions. They were not in action on the weekend though, and will hope that they are well-rested.
