Betis vs Nottingham Forest Preview and Team News
Betis Team News
Betis have four key players sidelined from this match: Aitor Ruibal, Nelson Deossa, Isco, and Ricardo Rodriguez. Even without them, the home team still have plenty of strength and will look to control the game, especially in midfield. The Andalusians are known across Europe for their defensive discipline, which can be expected to be on full display in the upcoming clash.
They usually line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, where their wingers are free to invert their positions. This lends a lot of weight to their flanks and even allows their fullbacks to bomb forward to deliver crosses and lobbed balls into the box.

Out of their last five outings, Betis have won two, drawn two, and lost the other. They’ve scored a total of eight goals and conceded six during that stretch, but notably, haven’t kept a single clean sheet. They’ll be eager to change that against Forest.
Attacking midfielder Giovani Lo Celso is in good form, highlighted by his recent performance against Real Sociedad, where he completed 84% of his passes and created three chances.
Betis predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1): Lopez; Firpo, Llorente, Natan, Bellerin; Amrabat, Fornals; Riquelme, Lo Celso, Antony; Hernandez.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Nottingham Forest, who recently parted ways with coach Nuno Espirito Santo, are going through a transition of sorts. However, with Ange Postecoglou in charge of the club, things are only expected to get better. The team blew the 2024-25 season of the Premier League apart with their all-out attacking tactics, and a similar approach is expected here.
Despite playing away from home, Forest will look to get control of the ball in wide areas and then feed it to their striker, Chris Wood. Nicolas Dominguez and Ola Aina have been sidelined with injuries. Central defender Murillo, one of the squad’s key players, is also a doubtful starter.

Under Postecoglou, Forest have shown a lot of courage without much success in front of goal. Their lack of precision in the final third cost them again over the weekend in a 1-1 draw against Burnley. They took 17 shots, but could only put eight of them on target.
Wood will be under immense pressure to perform against Betis after a disappointing performance against Burnley. In that outing, he registered just two shots and two touches in the opponents’ box. The lone positive was his passing accuracy of 73%.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs Betis (4-2-3-1): Sels; Zinchenko, Morato, Milenkovic, Williams; Anderson, Luiz; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Wood.
Betis vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
- Pick: Betis to win or draw
- Odds: -263 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Betis 2-2 Nottingham Forest
We expect Betis to either win or draw this match. Their attacking unit looks to be in good shape and should be able to coast over any difficult questions sent their way by Nottingham Forest.
The most important cog in the Spanish club’s attacking unit is former Manchester United winger Antony, who is known to be quick on his feet and is extremely flexible in his decision-making.

Antony can either speed up the play on the flanks or cut back inside to take on defenders one-on-one. The Brazilian’s footwork is exemplary, and if he gets some support from his teammates, he will be able to set up a lot of goalscoring opportunities from the right wing.
With Lo Celso in good form, Antony is expected to thrive further and cause trouble for the Forest defenders.
Betis vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Second half total – over 1 goal
- Odds: -238 (20Bet)
More than one goal should be scored in the second half. Both teams are likely to spend the opening 45 minutes feeling each other out before the game opens up after halftime. Betis tend to spread play out to their wings, relying on Antony and Lo Celso to create chances, but Forest remain heavily dependent on their striker, Wood.
The New Zealand international may need additional support from Callum Hudson-Odoi and Morgan Gibbs-White to position himself better inside the box. Betis also count on central midfielder Pablo Fornals (formerly of West Ham United) to push forward and deliver through balls. Taken together, these dynamics point to goals in the second half.
