Nottm Forest v Porto Tips, Predictions and 17/1 Bet Builder

16 April – 20:00 | Europa League | City Ground


Nottm Forest v Porto Preview

Nottingham Forest welcome FC Porto to the City Ground with this Europa League quarter-final finely poised at 1-1 after the first leg.

Forest rode their luck in Portugal, facing 16 shots and generating just six of their own, yet they escaped with a draw that keeps their European dream alive. Having already beaten Porto 2-0 at home during the league phase, the Tricky Trees will believe they can repeat the feat — although their knockout home form raises concerns after losing both previous home ties in this stage of the competition.

Domestically, Forest are still fighting for Premier League survival, but Europe has been their escape. They have shown resilience in tight knockout games, including a penalty shootout victory over Midtjylland in the last round.

Porto, meanwhile, arrive in strong form. Francesco Farioli’s side are unbeaten in their last eight matches in all competitions and sit top of Liga Portugal. Their consistency this season — 24 wins from 29 league matches — underlines the quality they bring to this clash.

However, Porto’s recent record against English opposition is less convincing. They are winless in their last five Europa League meetings with English clubs, including both fixtures against Forest this campaign.

With the tie level and both sides capable of scoring, expect an open and tense contest under the lights.
