Porto vs Nottingham Forest: Preview
FC Porto will be hoping to garner a positive result to take over to Nottinghamshire next week as they host the Premier League side this evening.
The Dragons have lost just once at home in 2025-26, a 3-1 defeat to Vitoria in December 2025, while they have won all five of their Europa League fixtures at the Estádio do Dragão.
Four wins and two draws from their last six games leave Francesco Farioli's side just three points behind current league leaders Sporting Lisbon.
There are some big injury news to report for the hosts, with Samu Aghehowa and Luuk de Jong out at present with individual problems, while Rodrigo Mora and Nahuen Perez are both doubts, too.

Nottingham Forest booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the Europa League after beating Danish side Midtjylland.
Next up are the Portuguese giants, with manager Pereira still mindful of his side's Premier League safety concerns as we approach the run-in.
Forest are contending with several availability issues, including Omari Hutchinson, Jair Cunha, Willy Bolly, Nicolo Savona, John Victor, Chris Wood and Ola Aina.
England midfielder Elliot Anderson is also out due to suspension, meaning Nicolas Dominguez and Ibrahim Sangare should start in midfield.
FourFourTwo's prediction
FC Porto 2-1 Nottingham Forest
FourFourTwo thinks Porto will narrowly edge this one, given Forest's plentiful injury issues.
