Expect an entertaining affair as Forest return to European action.
20:00 Wednesday
Nottingham Forest return to Europe for the first time in 30 years, facing off with Real Betis.
Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
- Betis ended a run of three games without a win by defeating Real Sociedad last time out. However, they remain very leaky at the back (only one clean sheet so far), something that Nottingham Forest could exploit.
- Nottingham Forest are back in European competition 30 years after their last appearance and will certainly be extra motivated for this match. Domestically, however, things have not been going well as they haven't won in five matches, failing to enjoy a new manager bounce effect.
- Both teams have defensive difficulties and find it easy to create chances, so this game could be entertaining and feature several goals.
