Betis won the Segunda Division last season to secure a return to the Spanish top flight.

Chelsea Tickets: More Than 14,000 Sold
More than 14,000 tickets have now been sold for Chelsea's visit to Fratton Park on Saturday.

Chelsea have sold more than 3,000 seats and their fans will fill the Milton end.

New signings like David Norris, Luke Varney, Jason Pearce and Stephen Henderson are poised to get their first taste of Fratton Park as Pompey players.

All four played in Pompey's 4-0 win at Havant & Waterlooville on Monday night, with Varney on the scoresheet.

The match - which kicks-off at 3pm - will be Andre Villas-Boas' first in charge of Chelsea since replacing Carlo Ancelotti as manager.

The first kiosk opens at 10am, with the last one closing at 3.40pm.

The ticket office in Frogmore Road will be open from 10am for collections only.

Pompey last met Chelsea in the 2010 FA Cup final when Didier Drogba's second-half strike secured a 1-0 win for the Londoners after Kevin-Prince Boateng had missed a penalty.
