Real Betis top picks vs AS Roma UEFA Europa League 2022-23 

Borja Iglesias: The 29-year-old has already scored six for Real Betis in eight games in the 2022-23 La Liga. Alongside Rodri Sanchez, Iglesias will be the most trusted player for the Spanish club as they look to register their fourth straight win in the tournament. The Spanish player also scored four goals in the 2021-22 Europa League.

Luiz Henrique: The winger scored the match-winning goal for Real Betis in their reverse fixture against AS Roma. The 21-year-old had also scored once in the Verdiblancos’ 3-2 win over the Ludogorets. Despite a poor show in La Liga this season, Henrique has still managed to score twice in three games in 2022-23 UEL. 

AS Roma’s top picks vs Real Betis UEFA Europa League 2022-23 

Tammy Abraham: The English footballer has scored twice in nine games in the 2022-23 Serie A. Abraham was last on the scoresheet in AS Roma’s 2-1 won over Empoli last month. The 25-year-old contributed 17 goals and four assists in Serie A last season. He also scored two goals for his national side  in the 2021-22 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. In the absence of Paulo Dybala, Abraham will be the key to AS Roma’s success.

Chris Smalling: The English footballer scored once for the Giallorossi in their 2-1 over Leece in their most recent Serie A fixture. The defender has been prolific this season having already netted three goals in nine games. Smalling’s form will be crucial for AS Roma to make a comeback in this tournament. The 32-year-old has scored nine goals for the Serie A outfit in the Italian top flight. 

Real Betis vs AS Roma UEFA Europa League 2022-23 prediction
