bet365 – Both teams to score in Nottm Forest v Porto and over 2.5 shots on target in both halves – (was 13/10) – NOW 9/4

Nottingham Forest are just 90 minutes away from a first European semi final appearance in 42 years as they head into their home second leg against Porto with the score all square from last week’s first leg.

William Gomes’ early opener for the Portuguese side last week was cancelled out by a comical own goal from Martim Fernandes to leave nothing to separate the sides ahead of tonight’s crunch clash.

Vitor Pereira, who spent two years managing Porto and won back to back league titles with them, currently has his Nottingham Forest side on a five match unbeaten run in all competitions ahead of tonight’s fixture.

The Europa League comes as a welcome distraction from the Premier League’s relegation battle they’re currently fighting in, with the side currently just three points above the bottom three with just six matches of the league campaign remaining.

Forest have struggled in recent months in delivering results in front of their home fans though, with Pereira yet to win at the City Ground since taking over as manager in February, leaving the club winless in their last seven at home and with just one win in their last 11.

The Nottinghamshire side head into the match off the back of a positive result against a Champions League chasing Aston Villa side though, with Neco Williams cancelling out Murrillo’s own goal in a 1-1 draw.

Porto make the trip to Nottingham unbeaten in their last eight matches across all competitions, and returned to winning ways on the weekend after consecutive draws with a 3-1 victory away at Estoril, maintaining their five point lead at the top of the table.

Francesco Farioli, in his first season in charge, is currently on track to deliver Porto their first league title in four years, and heads into tonight’s clash in reach of leading the club to their first European semi final since they last won this competition in 2011.

The Dragons boast the best away record in the Primeira Liga, with 13 wins from their 15 matches on the road so far, and have won their last three on their travels in all competitions including a 2-1 win at Stuttgart in the previous Europa League round to end a run of one win in five.

The two sides have already met at the City Ground this season in a league phase encounter of this competition, in which penalties from Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus saw Forest to a 2-0 win in what was Sean Dyche’s first game in charge of the club back in October.
