Just a couple of days are left before the 55th season of the UEFA Europa League kicks in. This will be the second time the tournament will be held under a new format, with 36 teams playing in the league phase before being advanced to the kickout stage, starting with the round of 16.
The competition will be held from Wednesday, 24 September 2025 to Wednesday, 20 May 2026. The final match that will determine the winner will take place at the Beşiktaş Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.
The qualifying rounds were conducted earlier this year, from 10 July to 28 August, with some of the teams qualifying to enter the league phase directly.
Match day 1 of the 2025/2026 season of the UEFA Europa League will be held on September 24 and September 25, with 9 matches held on each day. The match between Real Betis (Seville, Spain) and Nottingham Forest (West Bridgford, England) will also be taking place on Wednesday, 24 September.
With Real Betis hosting, the match will take place at the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville. The kick off time is 20:00 BST or 21:00 local time.
Real Betis entered this season of Europa League at the league stage after finishing the previous season of La Liga in the sixth position on the league table. They shared this achievement with Celta Vigo who came right after them.
Nottingham Forest also skipped the qualifying rounds and will be joining the tournament at the league stage. They earned their ticket after they came seventh on the league table in the 2024/2025 Premier League tournament.
Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest – Betting Odds
The bets on the ultimate winner of the competition and other outright results have been out way before the season even started. Now as the matches are about to set the tournament in action, bookmaking platforms update their offers on match specific betting odds and markets.
Below we will take a look at some of the most popular betting markets for the match between Real Betis and Nottingham Forest and present the current odds 7bet has to offer on these markets.
1X2 Betting Odds
Whether you call it 1×2 betting odds, straight win, match result, or 3 way, this is probably the first betting market every punter checks when they come to a bookmaking platform. Easy to understand and based on the main principle of the game, i.e. predicting the winner, this bet is the most popular one for a reason.
Due to its very straightforward nature, the straight win bet is often recommended for those who are just starting to explore the sports betting scene. As we mentioned, your task when placing this bet is to predict the outcome of the game. Of course, in different types of sports this will look differently, but in football your options are the following: the home team (1) wins, the away team (2) wins, or the match ends in a draw (x).
If your chosen outcome does happen on the field, you qualify for a payout that depends on the odds and the size of your stake.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following 1×2 betting odds on the Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest match:
| Real Betis F.C. (1) | Draw (x) | Nottingham Forest F.C. (2) |
| 11/9 | 5/2 | 2/1 |
Double Chance Odds
While any placed bet has no guarantee of winning, it is often quite easy to understand who is going to win the match because of the power distribution between the playing teams. But at other times, both teams on the field might be well balanced and have equal chances of walking away with the win under their belt.
If that is the case, it is natural that you will want to include some safeguard into your bet if you don’t predict the outcome correctly. And for this, you can use the double chance betting market.
With this bet you place a wager on two outcomes out of the possible three rather than one. Now if any of the two results you bet on comes true, you will qualify for a payout. Your options here are:
- Either the home team wins or the match ends in a draw (1x)
- Either the home team or the away team wins (12)
- Either the away team wins or the match ends in a draw (x2)
This bet may seem to involve lower risk than the straight win, and it really does, however you should be aware that due to lower risks it will also have lower odds, and as a result, lower payouts even if you win.
You should also consider when this bet is the best to place. For example, if the match has a clear favourite and a clear underdog, or the teams don’t have equal chances due to their power, skills, or other circumstances, this bet will make little sense.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following double chance betting odds on the Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest match:
| Real Betis F.C. or draw (1x) | Real Betis F.C. or Nottingham Forest F.C. (12) | Draw or Nottingham Forest F.C. (x2) |
| 7/20 | 2/7 | 5/9 |
Draw No Bet Odds
Another way to safeguard your bet against an unfavourable outcome is to choose a draw no bet betting market. While it has the same mechanism as the double chance odds, allowing you to lower the risks, it works a little differently.
With the draw no bet betting market you are still trying to predict the winner of the game. And here is how this bet gives you a bit of security. If your prediction happens to be true, you will get a payout as usually. If the rival team wins, you can’t really influence the outcome, so you lose your stake. The interesting part happens when the match ends in a draw. If you placed a draw no bet wager, your stake will be fully returned to you, so you suffer no losses even if you don’t win anything.
Similar to the double chance odds, this bet offers lower odds and potential payouts, as your risk here is also lower.
If you think this betting market makes the most sense for the match you want to bet on, don’t forget to check if the bookmaking platform of your choice offers it, as it can happen that draw no bet is not offered on certain games.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following draw no bet betting odds on the Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest match:
| Real Betis F.C. (1) | Nottingham Forest F.C. (2) |
| 16/25 | 23/20 |
Handicap Betting Odds
The betting markets we described so far are quite easy both to understand and to follow. However, there are also betting markets for more advanced and experienced punters. First, they need some time to get to fully understand how they function. And second, as a bettor you will need to have a better understanding of the betting scene in general as well as the sport you are betting on. The handicap betting market is one of such advanced bets.
Handicap bets work the best when the teams playing on the field are not well balanced. One of them can have an advantage in the game due to a stronger squad, more experience, or any number of circumstances. But when it is a little too obvious who is about to win the game, betting loses its main point.
Here is how a handicap bet can balance things out in such cases. What it does is introduce specific conditions that the winning team has to fulfill if their victory is to count toward your bet. Conditions will vary depending on what sport you are betting on. In football, the most popular handicap bet is the goal difference. Below we will take a closer look at what it means and how it works.
When you are placing a handicap bet on the goal difference, you are trying to predict two things: number one, the winner of the game, and number two, the difference of goals between the winning and the losing teams in the final score.
Let’s examine a practical example. Team A is considered to have an advantage over Team B in the upcoming game. So you place a handicap bet that they will win with a -1.5 goal handicap. This means that Team A has to win the match and have at least two goals more than Team B. However, you should know that predicting the exact correct score is not what you are doing with this bet. The final score may be 2 – 0, 3 – 1, or even 4 – 1, this won’t have any bearing on your wager as long as the goal difference is two balls or higher. But you will indeed lose your wager if Team A wins with a lower score difference (for example, 1 – 0 or 2 – 1).
An interesting part of handicap betting is that you can not only place a bet on how a team will win the match but also on how the underdog can lose it. Here as well the main criterion for your wager is the goal difference. For example, if you bet that Team B will lose with +2 handicap, they can’t lose with more than one goal of score difference (for example, 0 – 1, 2 – 3, or similar). If they fulfill this condition, your wager wins. If the difference is higher, your bet will lose.
Handicap bets can be placed on various parameters of the game. At 7bet, we currently offer the following handicap betting odds on the Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest match:
| Real Betis F.C. -0.25 | Nottingham Forest F.C. +0.25 |
| 20/23 | 4/5 |
Other popular handicap lines include:
| Real Betis F.C. | Draw | Nottingham Forest F.C. | |
| Starts 1 – 0 | 4/11 | 4/1 | 5/1 |
| Starts 0 – 1 | 16/5 | 16/5 | 3/5 |
| Starts 0 – 2 | 8/1 | 16/3 | 1/5 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
You can guess the primary goal of this betting market from its name. Here your aim is to predict whether both teams will score at least one goal by the end of the game. As it is as straightforward as it sounds, the both teams to score bet is often recommended for those who are still making their first steps in sports betting.
Notice that this doesn’t require you to predict the winner or the exact final score, so it also makes the both teams to score market a relatively easy bet to make.
If you decide to place a wager on this betting market, you get two options to choose from: yes and no. If you think that both teams will be able to score at least once against their rivals during the match, you place your wager on yes. And if you think that only one of the teams or even none of them can score in the upcoming match, you place your stake on no.
Easy as this betting market may sound, you still need a solid knowledge of both teams and their squads, their history of scoring against each other, and their current dynamics in general.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following both teams to score betting odds on the Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest match:
| Yes | No |
| 5/8 | 6/5 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
The mechanism of this betting market is also quite simple. Your task here is to predict whether the total sum of the final score will be higher (over) or lower (under) than a certain number specified by the bookmaker. However, the decision making when placing this wager can be rather complicated if you are not well familiar with the playing teams and how they tend to score, especially in the current season or against each other.
When you are placing a stake on the over/under betting market, you don’t need to predict the winner or the ultimate score. In this, this bet is similar to the both teams to score betting market. But in the same manner as with the previous bet, you need to be up to date on both teams’ current composition, physical form of their top scorers, and understand the importance of the match for them.
Here we will take a look at a practical example to see how it works. Let’s say, you place a wager that at the end of the match between Team A and Team B the total goal count will be over 2.5. What this means is that the total sum of all the goals scored in the match has to add up to 3 or more to count toward your wager. The actual distribution of the goals on the score board doesn’t matter for the wager, it can be 2 – 1, 3 – 0, 1 – 2, or even 2 – 2. The only thing that will cause you to lose your wager is if at the end of the match the goal total amounts to less than 3, for example, 1 – 0 (total of 1), 0 – 2 or 1 – 1 (both total of 2).
Let’s also take a look at why this betting market is presented with decimals. This is done to make things easier and more practical. If goal total was offered with whole numbers, it could have caused quite a lot of confusion.
Here is what we mean. If the bookmakers offered whole numbers instead of decimals and set the goal total for a specific match at, for example, 2 instead of 2.5, it is very possible for the match to end with a score that adds up to exactly 2 (for example, 2 – 0 or 1 – 1). So now both people who placed their wager on over 2 and those who placed theirs on under 2 are having a huge argument as to who is entitled to payouts. This is exactly why decimals were introduced to this betting market.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following over/under betting odds on the Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest match:
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 5/7 | 1/1 |
Correct Score Odds
When it comes to advanced betting markets, handicap betting is not the only one. The correct score bet is also considered not very suitable for beginner bettors, even though the idea behind it is very simple and the bet itself is very popular on many bookmaking platforms. The reason for this is that in order to place a bet on the correct score with any degree of responsible decision making, you need to know a lot about betting mechanisms and football practices.
As the name suggests, your task with this betting market is to predict the exact final score on the score board at the end of the match. If a draw seems like the most likely outcome, you can bet on that as well, but must still provide the exact score, whether it is 2 – 2, 1 – 1, or a goalless 0 – 0 draw.
Understandably, the correct score market is associated with higher risks than most bets. As a result, the odds and payouts offered by bookmakers are usually higher than other betting markets. And while this may seem like a good deal for betting, remember that you have to be intimately familiar with the strong sides of both teams, stay informed about their current squad composition and top scorers’ physical form, as well as many other factors.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following correct score betting odds for some of the most popular scorelines on the Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest match:
| Real Betis F.C. | Nottingham Forest F.C. | Odds |
| 0 | 0 | 11/1 |
| 1 | 0 | 15/2 |
| 0 | 1 | 9/1 |
| 1 | 1 | 5/1 |
| 2 | 0 | 10/1 |
| 0 | 2 | 15/1 |
| 2 | 1 | 15/2 |
