Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest begin their UEFA Europa League campaign with a trip to Real Betis for a match-day one clash on Wednesday.

The Premier League side have not been at their best this season as they get used to a new manager. Real Betis, meanwhile, have shown some quality this term and can claim the upper hand over the visitors.

Real Betis News

Real Betis had a direct berth into the league phase of the Europa League and did not come through the qualifiers. They reached the Conference League final last season and will be hoping for a similar run this time around.

It has been a solid start to the season for Real Betis, who are unbeaten in five of their last six matches. Manuel Pellegrini's team have also won two of their last three home matches, including a 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad in a Spanish La Liga fixture last weekend.

Real Betis have shown some attacking quality this season, scoring in all six of their matches so far. However, they have conceded in five of those matches, while the last three fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Nottingham Forest News

Nottingham Forest also got a straight shot into the league phase after being upgraded following Crystal Palace's demotion from the competition. However, they have struggled to get going this season, with new manager Ange Postecoglou yet to secure a win.

The Premier League side come into this clash winless in their last five matches, with three defeats on this run, including a 3-2 EFL Cup loss to Championship side Swansea. They followed up that result with a 1-1 draw at newly promoted Burnley last weekend.

Like the Spaniards, Nottingham Forest have also been unconvincing at the back and are without a clean sheet in all six of their matches this season. However, they have scored in four of those fixtures, while three of the last four have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Real Betis and Nottingham Forest have only met once before, with the Spaniards claiming a 1-0 victory in a friendly back in 2018.

Verdict

Real Betis v Nottm Forest

Neither defence has looked convincing this season, and both teams are likely to score here. With Real Betis' last three matches producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome could be on the cards here.

Real Betis have had a decent start to the season and are particularly solid at home, winning two of their three matches in front of their fans. They will be confident of getting the better of Nottingham Forest, who are winless in their last five matches.
