Nottingham Forest vs FC Porto: Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for October 23, 2025

A Europa League group stage match will occur on Thursday at the City Ground in Nottingham, where Nottingham Forest will face Porto from Portugal. Here’s a betting tip with good odds for this match.

Match Preview

Nottingham Forest is struggling both in the league and in Europe. After two rounds in the Europa League, they have just one point and are seeking their first win, extending a long winless streak. At home, they lost to Midtjylland and seem unstable overall.

The club recently appointed Sean Dyche as manager, replacing Postecoglou, but immediate improvements may not be expected. Forest has not won in their last 10 matches, conceding at least two goals in each game. With internal issues continuing, the team could drop points again, even with home support.

In contrast, Porto has had a strong start to their campaign. They have secured wins against Salzburg and Crvena Zvezda, placing them at the top of their group. The team exhibits structured football, with a solid balance between offense and defense.

However, Porto’s away record in the Europa League is concerning: they have won just three of their last 17 away games in the competition. Still, their current form is promising, and they’re leading the Primeira Liga, indicating good performance, making them favorites for this challenging away match.

Probable Lineups

• Nottingham Forest: Sels, Murillo, Morato, Milenkovic, Williams, Anderson, Ndoye, Sangare, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Jesus
• Porto: Costa, Fernandes, Bednarek, Sanusi, Prpic, Rosario, Mora, Eustaquio, Gomes, Gül, Alcaron

Match Facts and Head-to-Head

• Nottingham Forest has lost four straight home games in the Premier League and Europa League.
• Porto has won both matches in the Europa League group stage so far.
• In 8 of Porto’s last 10 Europa League away games, both teams have scored.

Prediction

Considering Forest’s recent struggles and management changes, a strong performance from the home team seems unlikely. Meanwhile, Porto has started the season strongly and plays well both in European and domestic matches. Our betting suggestion for this match is Porto with a handicap (0) at odds of 2.03.
