Nottingham vs Porto Prediction, 2:00 a.m. October 24: On the brink of collapse

Comments before Nottingham vs Porto match

After a transfer window, Nottingham has been in a slump. The East Midlands club has just fired coach Ange Postecoglou. Including coach Nuno Santo, Nottingham has fired two coaches in just six weeks. This is a rare move in the Premier League and shows that Nottingham is truly lost.

In the last 10 matches, Nottingham has drawn 3 and lost 7. They are facing a terrible situation with being in the "red light" group in the Premier League. In the Europa League arena, after 2 matches, Nottingham has only won 1 point. The most worrying thing for Nottingham at the moment is the collapse of spirit and loss of direction when the coaching position is constantly in turmoil.

Playing at home at City Ground is not a strength for Nottingham. In the last 4 matches hosting their opponents, they have all lost and failed to score a goal. Nottingham's crisis is an opportunity for Porto to take 3 points, continue their favorable run in the Europa League and extend the Portuguese representative's winning streak in all competitions.

The difference between Porto and Nottingham is their European credentials. Porto have proven themselves in the Champions League and Europa League, while Nottingham have shown problems when facing teams outside the Premier League.

Form, head-to-head record Nottingham vs Porto

Porto is in devastating form. In the last 11 matches, Porto is unbeaten, winning 10 and drawing one. In 8/11 matches, Porto scored more than 2 goals. With that impressive streak, Porto is leading the domestic league table. In the Europa League, coach Francesco Farioli's team is one of 6 teams that have won all 2 matches.

Tonight’s match is the first time the two clubs have met. In all respects, Porto are clearly the favorites.

Nottingham vs Porto squad information

Nottingham are without Ola Aina. Awoniyi, Jair Cunha and Angus Gunn are all injured for the home side. Nottingham's squad depth is an issue, leading to challenges when having to divide the squad across multiple arenas. Zinchenko, Anderson, Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White and Wood have to work continuously, leading to problems in maintaining form.

Porto are without Luuk de Jong and Nehuen Perez through injury, with the rest of the Portuguese squad available for Nottingham.
