Europa League Betting Preview: Nottingham Forest vs Porto

Premier League side Nottingham Forest, now led by new manager Sean Dyche, host Portuguese Primeira Liga outfit Porto in this Europa League clash at City Ground, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Thursday 23 October. Our betting preview features expert predictions, betting tips, the latest odds, H2H stats, team news and both predicted and confirmed lineups.

We’ll chance Porto +0.25 on the Asian Handicap and divide our stake between 0 and +0.5 when they meet Nottingham Forest. A win delivers a payout at -137 although a draw would still land a return.

Crisis club Nottingham Forest, without a win in their last ten games in all competitions, are now led by their third manager of the season, having sacked Nuno Espírito Santo earlier in the campaign and Ange Postecoglou on Saturday.

Forest were beaten 3-0 at City Ground in their last game, being turned over at home to Chelsea in the Premier League. The Tricky Trees had 49% possession and two shots on target.

Porto hosted Benfica in the O Clássico at Estadio do Dragao in their previous game, with the Primeira Liga clash ending in a 0-0 draw. Francesco Farioli's team had 51% possession and recorded two shots on goal.

In their most recent Europa League engagements, Forest lost 3-2 when hosting FC Midtjylland, with Porto getting a 2-1 win when hosting Crvena zvezda.
