He Betis will travel to the Czech Republic in the next few hours to return to the Conference League field and thus play against Mlada Boleslav this Thursday and the truth is that from the newspaper archive the precedents that the green and white team can tell in their history are not bad at all, that does not add up to bad statistical numbers when it has been forced to face teams from that country in the different competition options.
And the fact is that the green and white team will face the 4th day of its new continental journey knowing that history has almost always smiled on the Betis, given that on six occasions that it has fought a duel against teams from the Czech Republic, in five he has been proclaimed the winner of said matches and only lost said match on one occasion, the last one specifically.
It is also the most recent in the continental history of the Verdiblancos, which the Betis have surely saved their retina, given that they lost in November 2023 in the group stage against the Prague Sparta thanks to a goal from Haraslin that complicated passage to the next round. It was in the first leg when Betis did manage to defeat the Czech team after coming back from the aforementioned match thanks to the goals of Assane and Isco, who were the authors of the goals.
Traveling even further in time, the first Czech rival in the history of a European tournament in Betis took place in the second round of UEFA 2022-23, against Viktoria Zizkov, with the green and white team triumphing thanks to a goal from Denilson. More convincing was the return that took place at home, with a 3-0 score signed by Casas, Joaquín and Joao Tomás. To continue remembering, in 2013-14, also in the defunct UEFA, Betis defeated the Jablonec first in Czech lands (1-2), until in the return match at Villamarín they gave Betis the biggest win in European competitions (6-0).
