Nottingham Forest XI vs Real Betis – Predicted lineup and team news

Nottingham Forest end a 29-year wait on Wednesday as they make their return to European group stage football with a trip to Real Betis.

While the club is new to this stage, their manager is a proven winner in this competition. Ange Postecoglou arrives in Seville as the reigning Europa League champion, having lifted the trophy with Tottenham last season. His exceptional 67% win ratio in the tournament provides a huge source of optimism as Forest begin their new European adventure.
