Comments on the match Nottingham vs Porto, 2:00 a.m. October 24: Difficult debut day

VHO - Commenting on the match Nottingham vs Porto, Europa League qualifying round, new coach Sean Dyche promises to face many difficulties when he and his new students welcome the tough guest.

Nottingham vs Porto form

Nottingham started the season with a 3-1 win over Brentford, but the good times at the City Ground quickly faded, giving way to a gloomy, oppressive atmosphere.

The irreparable rift between coach Nuno Santo and the upper echelons has led to the Portuguese strategist being unexpectedly sacked. His replacement, Ange Postecoglou, is expected to help Forest quickly recover with positive results.

However, the happy scenario did not happen. Under the former Tottenham coach, Nottingham showed an even more disastrous face. In 7 times in charge, the Australian coach did not win a single game, only drew 2 and lost 7.

Lost in the dark tunnel, the City Ground management decided to fire the general after the 0-3 loss to Chelsea last weekend. The person appointed to the hot seat this time is not a strange face but not too prominent either.

Sean Dyche has had stints in charge of Burnley and Everton in the Premier League, but has not made much of an impression, mainly in the role of helping his team stay in the league. Nottingham's current situation is probably also suitable for the task given to the 54-year-old coach.

After 8 rounds of the Premier League, the Nottingham team has only earned 5 points, ranking 3rd from the bottom and 2 points behind the nearest safe spot. The task of staying in the league is probably not too difficult for the City Ground team in the context that they have a fairly good squad compared to the general level.

After two matches in the Europa League, Nottingham only has 1 point. A victory against Porto will be very important, creating a morale boost, reviving the confidence of Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Chris Wood... and rekindling the hope of passing the group stage.

Porto promises to bring no small challenge to new coach Sean Dyche

In contrast to the home team's disappointing performance, Porto is in high spirits. In the domestic arena, the Oporto team has won 7 and drawn only 1 of its 8 matches, firmly in the top position with 22 points, 3 and 4 points ahead of rivals Sporting and Benfica respectively.

In the Europa League qualifying round, the Portuguese representative also won both of their previous matches, defeating RB Salzburg (1-0) and Red Star (2-1). With form and spirit high, the away team will travel to City Ground with great confidence.

But the caution for coach Francesco Farioli and his team is not unnecessary. In 49 encounters with English representatives in European cups, Porto has only won 10, drawn 12 and lost 27.
