Match review Real Betis vs Nottinghamham, 2:00 a.m. September 25: A tough challenge for the "European rookie"

VHO - Commentary on the match Real Betis vs Nottignham, Europa League qualifying round, home field advantage and better form will likely help the home team win all 3 points.

Real Betis vs Nottingham form

Thanks to finishing 6th in La Liga last season, Real Betis won a ticket to the Europa League. Of course, the European arena is no longer too strange for coach Manuel Pellegrini and his team. Because last season, the Seville team also reached the Conference League final for the first time but lost 1-4 to Chelsea.

The Europa League promises to be a more challenging game for Real Betis. But looking at the qualifying schedule, the Spanish team has every right to hope for the possibility of continuing to advance.

It is expected that after hosting Nottinghamham, the home team of Olimpico de la Cartuja will face Ludogorets, Feyenoord, Genk, Lyon, Utrecht, PAOK and Dinamo Zagreb. These are not big names and if they play consistently enough, Antony and his teammates will at least be in the play-off round (competing for a ticket to the round of 16).

In the domestic arena, Real Betis is not having a really good start. After 6 rounds, the Andalusian team has only won 2, drawn 3 and lost 1. It is important to know that except for Bilbao, the opponents of Pellegrini and his team are all equal or inferior.

So, the current 5th place achievement is not too positive, especially when Real Betis has played 1 more match than 18 other clubs. But at least the convincing 3-1 victory in the reception of Real Sociedad last weekend also brought a strong enough mental medicine, helping Los Verdiblancos more confident before the opening match of Europa League.

On the other side of the front line, Nottingham's situation is even worse. After the departure of coach Nuno Santo, the captain who brought unexpected success last season, the Premier League representative is in a state of quite chaos.

Real Betis has more advantages to win all 3 points

Including the heavy 0-3 loss to West Ham in the last match of coach Santo's tenure, Nottingham are on a 4-match winless streak, drawing only 1 and losing 3. In all 3 times since being appointed, new coach Ange Postecoglou has not been able to leave any positive impression.

Forest still lost 0-3 to Arsenal, were eliminated from the English League Cup by lower-league Swansea and only earned 1 point at the newly promoted Burnley last weekend. The poor results mean that the trip to Spain is expected to be quite difficult for Hudson-Odoi and his teammates.

This is Nottingham's first return to European competition since being eliminated by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the 1995/96 UEFA Cup. A three-decade absence will certainly bring a sense of bewilderment to the club from the land of fog.
