LiontipsPorto - Nottingham Forest: betting tip (cf 2.20) and bets on the Europa League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Porto can clearly take advantage of the interim results of the season, as it claims trophies in three tournaments. In the Portuguese Cup, the dragons lost the first semi-final match to Sporting (0:1), but the return leg at Dragau is ahead. In the Primeira Liga, Francesco Farioli's team leads the standings, ahead of Sporting by five points, but the competitor has a game in reserve. At the stage of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, Porto had a difficult opponent, German Stuttgart. There were expectations in the betting tips that the confrontation would turn out to be stubborn and equal, but instead the Portuguese achieved two victories (2:1 and 2:0) and confidently advanced to the quarterfinals.
Disqualifications and injuries
N. Perez, Agehova and de Jong are injured, Petushevsky and Karamo are out of the game. The appearance of Mora and Sanusi on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Porto won five of the previous six Europa League matches.
- The exchange of goals scored was recorded in four of the last five matches of the team in LE
Approximate line–up: D. Costa - A. Costa, Bednarek, T. Silva, Moura – Froholdt, Rosario, Veiga – Pepe, Moffy, Sainz.
Current form
Nottingham Forest is having a mixed season. On the one hand, we managed to reach the quarterfinals of the Europa League, which can be considered a decent success. On the other hand, in the Premier League, foresters are fighting a fierce battle for survival and risk ending up in the Championship at the end of the season. After round 31, Nottingham Forest has 32 points in the Premier League and is in 16th place with a three-point margin from the relegation zone. Vitor Pereira's team scored an important victory in the last round over direct rival Tottenham with a score of 3:0 on the road. In the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, the foresters overcame the resistance of Midtjylland with great difficulty in a penalty shootout in the second leg.
Disqualifications and injuries
Boli, Victor and Savona will miss the game due to injuries. Anderson has too many yellow cards, and Cunha and Wood are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In eight consecutive matches in the Europa League, Nottingham Forest has not played a draw
- On the road to LE in five of the previous six matches, the foresters did not lose.
Approximate line-up: Sels – Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams – Dominguez, Sangare – Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Hutchinson –Jesus.

Tip and bets
Nottingham Forest overcame the resistance of the Danish Midtjylland with great difficulty in the 1/8 finals, and they are fighting for survival in the Premier League. We do not think that at the moment the foresters are ready to play on equal terms against the leader of the Mayor's Office. Porto confidently passed the German Stuttgart in the previous stage, scored two victories, at home and away. The Dragons have a balanced squad, they have virtually no weaknesses in the game, while Nottingham Forest can afford a complete failure in defense at any time. We expect that the hosts will create a reserve for themselves today before the second leg.
Our betting tip is that Porto will win by a factor of 2.20
Bet on the total
Porto in Dragau traditionally plays from a position of strength, regardless of who the opponents are. Since the beginning of the season, the Dragons have played 23 matches in their field, taking into account all tournaments, won 19 victories, and had no problems attacking. We expect in the betting tip that the owners will open the foresters' not very reliable defenses more than once today.
The second bet is Porto's individual goal total of more than 1.5 with a coefficient of 2.30
Betting on corners
Let's pay attention to Porto's impressive statistics on corners. In 31 of the last 39 matches, the team has won by this indicator. Obviously, the dragons will play number one at home today and will most likely confidently win once again in the corners.
Prediction – Porto wins on corners with a coefficient of 1.60
