Porto vs Nottingham Forest Preview and Team News

Porto Team News

Porto are unbeaten in their last five games, a run that should provide a confidence boost as they prepare to take on Nottingham Forest in the quarterfinals. The team have also kept two clean sheets in their last four outings.

Most recently, they were held to a 2-2 draw by Famalicao after conceding a late goal that cost them two points. The Dragons struggled to generate attacking momentum in that match and were largely contained by their opponents. They managed just three shots on target, producing a modest xG of 0.42.

Porto have four key players ruled out with injuries. Rodrigo Mora, Samu Aghehowa, Luuk de Jong, and Nahuen Perez have all been sidelined.

Porto predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest (4-3-3): D. Costa; Sanusi, Kiwior, Bednarek, A. Costa; Fofana, Varela, Froholdt; Pietuszewski, Moffi, Pepe.

Nottingham Forest Team News

Nottingham Forest won two of their last five games, with two draws and one loss.

Most recently, they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 in the Premier League. Attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White delivered a strong performance in that match, finishing with 80% passing accuracy and 100% shooting accuracy while also scoring a goal. Winger Callum Hudson-Odoi recorded an assist and a 100% dribbling success rate.

Elliot Anderson has been suspended, whereas Omari Hutchinson, Ola Aina, Jair Cunha, Willy Boly, Nicolo Savona, John Victor, and Chris Wood are ruled out with injuries.

Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs Porto (4-2-3-1): Sels; Williams, Murrillo, Milenkovic, Moreira; Sangare, Yates; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Jesus.

Porto vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

  • Pick: Porto to win or draw
  • Odds: -345 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Porto 2-1 Nottingham Forest

We expect either a draw or a Porto victory. The Portuguese team have scored 11 goals and conceded only four in their last five games while keeping two clean sheets.

Forest, meanwhile, have been less consistent in attack. They’ve scored more than two goals in just one of their previous five encounters and have failed to find the net in two of those matches.

Porto vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Total over 2 goals
  • Odds: -167 (20Bet)

We expect this clash to produce more than two goals. Porto should be the more dominant side in attack, given their recent form, but Forest are also capable of getting on the scoreboard.

The Tricky Trees have blown hot and cold this season, scoring just seven goals in their last five games, while each of Porto’s last five outings has featured at least two goals.

Forest will rely heavily on Igor Jesus, the competition’s leading goalscorer with seven goals. For the Dragons, Borja Sainz (four goal contributions) could make an impact off the bench in their time of need.
