William Hill News tipster @Footy_Tipster previews Thursday’s UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg between Nottingham Forest and FC Porto.

Our Prediction: Porto To Win (23/10), Nottingham Forest 1-2 Porto (10/1).

The UEFA Europa League returns this week with clubs from across Europe looking to fulfil their European dreams with the journey to Istanbul continuing here for two sides.

We’ve got a winner takes all scenario at the City Ground on Thursday night, as Nottingham Forest welcome Porto to the east Midlands for the second time this season.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Europa League odds and betting angles for this fixture:

Nottingham Forest v Porto – Thursday, 8pm

See the latest odds on this match.

Nottingham Forest followed up their draw in Porto last week with another 1-1 draw here against Aston Villa to move themselves to three points clear of the bottom three in the Premier League as they bid for survival.
The Tricky Trees now have the chance to secure a European semi-final for the first time since the 1983/1984 UEFA cup campaign but having won just one of their last eleven competitive home games (D5, L5), this will be tough for forest.
Nottingham Forest have already beat Porto this season under Sean Dyche and will be looking for more of the same on Thursday night, with William Hill pricing the Premier League side up at 6/5 to win this on the night.
——————————–
Porto will take place in their 18th European quarter-final and they’ll be looking to make up for previous occasions having lost each of their last four QF ties, with their last European semi-final coming back in 2010/2011.
The Dragons stretched their unbeaten run to eight games (W5, D3) on Sunday evening with a 3-1 victory at Estoril, that now brings up three away wins in a row for Porto, all of which seen both teams to score, they are 13/2 to win this one whilst conceding.
Francesco Farioli’s side have now scored two or more goals in each of their last four away games, it’s hard to ignore Porto given their current form and priced at 23/10 just to win looks good value with the leading bookmaker.
