Nottingham Forest vs FC Porto Preview and Team News
Nottingham Forest Team News
Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last five games, with two wins and three draws. However, there are encouraging signs, as the team have also scored seven goals, conceded a mere three, and kept two clean sheets in that span.
Their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday showed promise, but Forest will hope that they bring it out against Porto after being held to a 1-1 draw in the first leg. Despite having just 41% possession, the Tricky Trees posted an xG of 1.15.
Their injury list is also relatively short, with only Jair Cunha, Willy Boly, John Victor, and Nicolo Savona ruled out. The potential return of Chris Wood, even if only from the bench, would be a major boost, given the Kiwi scored 20 goals across all competitions last season.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs FC Porto (4-2-3-1): Sels; Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Aina; Anderson, Sangare; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Hutchinson; Jesus.
FC Porto Team News
FC Porto are also unbeaten in their last five games, with three wins and two draws. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-1 victory over Estoril in Liga Portugal.
Midfielder Victor Froholdt, operating on the right flank, was one of the standout performers for Porto, scoring a goal and generating an xG of 1.00. He was also responsible for setting his teammates up, as could be gauged by his brilliant passing accuracy of 91%.
Pepe, playing further forward, completed two of his three long balls and created two key chances.
The Dragons have four players sidelined: Luuk de Jong, Samuel Aghehowa, Martim Fernandes, and Nehuen Perez.
FC Porto predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest (4-3-3): D. Costa; Sanusi, Kiwior, Bednarek, A. Costa; Veiga, Varela, Froholdt; Oskar, Gul, Pepe.
Nottingham Forest vs FC Porto Prediction
- Pick: Nottingham Forest to win or draw
- Odds: -323 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-1 FC Porto
We expect Nottingham Forest to either win or earn a draw. This prediction applies strictly to the outcome of this fixture and not qualification for the semifinals. The Tricky Trees have avoided defeat in the last two meetings between these sides, including the 1-1 draw in the first leg.
Forest’s home record has been strong this season, with three wins in four matches during the Europa League league phase. Porto, on the other hand, managed just one away win in the same stage.
Nottingham Forest vs FC Porto Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over two goals
- Odds: -145 (20Bet)
We expect more than two goals. Both recent meetings between these sides have produced a minimum of two goals, and a similar pattern looks likely here. Forest have been on a goalscoring spree, finding the back of the net on 11 occasions at home in the group phase, and are expected to take an aggressive approach.
The Dragons, meanwhile, scored just three goals on the road in the group phase and may struggle for control. Both clubs have seen at least two goals scored in each of their last four matches across all competitions.
