Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest Prediction and Expert Tips

Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest Match Preview

The first round of Europa League is a close encounter between two top football league teams. Real Betis from Spanish Laliga is set to face Nottingham Forest from English Premier League.

Nottingham Forest performed well in the previous Premier League season and has captured the 7th position at the conclusion of the campaign. This assisted them in reaching the Europa League competition directly alongwith Aston Villa. The current scenario of Nottingham Forest doesn’t provide anything because they follow a five-match losing streak with three of them being losses.

A winless streak against Premier League sides may have not impacted much of their prospects if their upcoming opponents were a few clubs from outside the top 5 leagues. But they have to play against Betis of Laliga. Further, Betis also made a strong start to the Laiga this season with five clean sheets in six games. Their last outing was a 3-1 win over Real Sociedad.

Going forward, this will be referred to as the second head-to-head encounter between these two. Their last meeting was in 2018 and it concluded in a 1-0 victory for Betis. Therefore, all reasons mentioned above are in their favor and a close test is anticipated for the visitors Nottingham Forest on Wednesday at Estadio de La Cartuja.

Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

The three home matches of Betis were from Laliga. The Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini has done well to begin the campaign at home for Betis in a good way as the team secured two victories in those three. Something which may worry him is the defense that conceded 3 goals in that period. Against an English club, this figure matters a lot.

But that is not likely to influence the Betis hopes of clinching victory as Nottingham Forest have an eight-match run of games without a win away from home. They have won only one out of the last 10 games on the road and this reason alone is enough to anticipate a Betis victory on Wednesday.

But we anticipate a close affair since Nottingham has been consistent in the scoring lately. They have scored in three of the previous four away matches and this also suits Betis defense’s recent home readings. Therefore, a two-way traffic with Betis concluding the visit with a three pointer is anticipated at Estadio de La Cartuja on Wednesday.
