With the Europa League group stage getting underway on Wednesday night, we have a stacked schedule from across the continent.
As Nottingham Forest get their famous European return underway on foreign soil, Italian giants Roma will also steal centre stage.
Ahead of what is a stacked night of Europa League action, we have taken a glance at some of the most appealing betting tips which are available.
17:45 Midtjylland vs Strum Graz
Relinquishing their domestic crown last season as they eventually had to settle for a silver medal finish among Denmark’s elite, Midtjylland have plenty of expectations on their shoulders this time around. However, despite falling to a 1-0 loss against Nordsjaelland when returning from September’s international break, it appears that was just a minor blip for Mike Tullberg’s camp. Last seen over the weekend picking up some perfect momentum as they clinched a routine 2-0 victory at home against Viborg, the Wolves have won eight of their previous nine appearances across all competitions. Booking their Europa League group stage ticket on August 28th as they secured a 6-0 aggregate win against Finnish outfit KuPS, the former Borussia Dortmund coach should also be excited by his side’s extended defensive steel. Along with registering consecutive domestic clean sheets, Midtjylland have also come away unscathed in three of their last four showdowns at the MCH Arena.
Despite marking their respective return from September’s fortnight interval with a 1-0 loss at home against Austria Vienna, Strum Graz find themselves in an almost identical position to Wednesday’s opponents. Continuing to impress on either side of the international break, Jurgen Samuel’s men certainly picked up some perfect momentum over the weekend. Putting in a stellar performance as they clinched a 2-0 win away at bitter domestic rivals Salzburg, the reigning Austrian champions have won four of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Signing off August with a routine 3-0 victory away at Grazer AK, Wednesday’s guests have also impressed with their performances at the back. Along with recording a clean sheet in three of their previous four matchups, Strum Graz have also shipped just a single strike in almost 450 minutes of action. Likewise, Samuel’s side have also come away unscathed in all of their last three straight matchups away from the Merkur Arena.

20:00 Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest
While Nuno Espírito Santo might have guided Nottingham Forest to an iconic European return last season, the Portuguese tactician was removed from his position following a messy divorce earlier in the month. Although new boss Ange Postecoglou might have guided Tottenham to Europa League success back in May, the former Spurs boss could have a real job on his hands. Despite getting the 2025/26 campaign underway with a 3-1 victory against Brentford on August 17th, Wednesday’s guests have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Suffering an infamous last-gasp collapse away at Championship outfit Swansea last week as they fell to a 3-2 defeat in South Wales, Forest have failed to win any of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Hit with consecutive 3-0 drumming agains Arsenal and West Ham on either side of September’s international break, Postecoglou must find a way to fix Forest’s leaky defence.
Although Real Betis might have suffered major Europa Conference League heartbreak back on May 28th as they slumped to a 4-1 drumming against Chelsea in Poland, Manuel Pellegrini’s side have their sights set on mounting another genuine European charge this time around. Picking up some perfect momentum over the weekend as they secured a thumping 3-1 victory at home against Real Sociedad, the one-time Manchester City boss will be smelling the chance to collect a heavyweight English scalp here. Suffering just a single defeat from their first six La Liga appearances, Wednesday’s hosts are now searching for some crucial defensive steel. In fact, continuing on from last season, Betis have remarkably mustered just a single clean sheet from any of their last 18 straight matchups across all competitions – a rut that stems all the way back to April 10th.
