Match preview: Nottingham vs Porto
Following a transfer window, Nottingham's performance has plummeted. The East Midlands club has just sacked manager Ange Postecoglou. Including Nuno Santo, Nottingham has sacked two managers in just six weeks. This is a rare move in the Premier League and reveals that Nottingham is truly directionless.
In their last 10 matches, Nottingham have drawn 3 and lost 7. They are facing a dire situation, languishing in the relegation zone of the Premier League. In the Europa League, after two matches, Nottingham have only managed one point. The most worrying aspect for Nottingham right now is their low morale and lack of direction due to the constant changes in their manager.
Playing at their home ground, City Ground, is not a guarantee for Nottingham. In their last four home matches against Nottingham, they have lost every time without scoring a single goal. Nottingham's crisis presents an opportunity for Porto to secure three points, continue their strong momentum in the Europa League, and extend the Portuguese side's impressive run across all competitions.
The difference between Porto and Nottingham lies in their experience on the European stage. Porto, on the other hand, has shown remarkable composure in the Champions League and Europa League. Nottingham, meanwhile, has revealed many weaknesses when facing opponents outside the Premier League.
Nottingham vs Porto form and head-to-head record
Porto are in devastating form. They are unbeaten in their last 11 matches, winning 10 and drawing one. In 8 of those 11 games, Porto scored more than two goals. With this impressive run, Porto are leading the domestic league table. In the Europa League, Francesco Farioli's team are one of six teams to have won both legs.
Tonight's match marks the first time the two clubs have met. Considering all factors, Porto clearly has the upper hand.
Nottingham vs Porto team news
Nottingham will be without Ola Aina. Awoniyi, Jair Cunha, and Angus Gunn are all pre-existing injury concerns for the home team. Nottingham's squad depth is a problem, leading to challenges as they have to spread their resources across multiple competitions. Zinchenko, Anderson, Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, and Wood are constantly playing, which could affect their ability to maintain consistent form.
Porto will be without Luuk de Jong and Nehuen Perez due to injury. The rest of the Portuguese side will be ready to face Nottingham.
