The Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville is set to host an intriguing Europa League clash this Wednesday as Real Betis welcome Nottingham Forest. Real Betis will be playing at a temporary home due to renovations at their usual venue. Despite this disruption, they will be looking to get their European campaign off to a strong start against a Nottingham Forest side that is making its return to a major European competition.
Forest, who have had a mixed start to the domestic season, will be eager to prove themselves on the continental stage. Ange Postecoglou will also be looking to convince Forest fans that he is the man to lead them to glory, after failing to win his first two games in charge of the club.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Real Betis to Win & BTTS @ 3.50 - Our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted a Betis Win in this fixture. Their superior form, home advantage, and head-to-head record justify confidence in this selection.
Pablo Fornals (Real Betis): The Spanish midfielder has been a key creative force for Betis. In the early stages of the season, he has registered an impressive number of key passes, indicating his crucial role in creating scoring opportunities. His ability to link up with the forward line and his technical skill will be vital for Betis to break down Nottingham Forest's defence.
Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest): Despite Nottingham Forest's mixed form, Gibbs-White remains a central figure in their attack. His statistical output in terms of completed dribbles and shots on target highlights his individual threat. He has shown a consistent ability to create chances for himself and his teammates, and his performance will be a key indicator of Forest's attacking success.
