Nottingham Forest XI vs Porto – Predicted lineup and team news
Nottingham Forest visit the Estádio do Dragão tonight, aiming to secure a vital away result in the Europa League.
The Tricky Trees reach the quarter-finals after a dramatic penalty shootout win against Midtjylland. Manager Vítor Pereira oversaw a massive 3–0 victory over Tottenham in his last outing. Forest already beat Porto 2–0 earlier this season in the group stages. They now look to replicate that performance on Portuguese soil.
Nottingham Forest team news
Vítor Pereira manages a squad thinned by several major absences. Notably, Elliot Anderson is suspended after picking up a milestone booking in the last round. Consequently, Ibrahim Sangaré and Nicolas Dominguez are expected to start in the engine room.
The medical room remains busy with Willy Boly, Omari Hutchinson, and Ola Aina still sidelined. Notably, Chris Wood and Jair Cunha are unlikely to be available for this trip.
Stefan Ortega will start in goal behind a defence featuring Nikola Milenković and Morato. In attack, Taiwo Awoniyi is poised to lead the line with James McAtee providing creative spark.
Notably, seven-goal striker Igor Jesus remains a dangerous option from the substitutes’ bench. Forest have lost only once away from home in the Europa League this term. They will rely on their defensive discipline to silence the home crowd tonight.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup
Nottingham Forest Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Ortega; Williams, Abbott, Milenkovic, Morato; Yates, Sangare; Dominguez, McAtee, Bakwa; Awoniyi
