Nottingham Forest vs Fenerbahce Predictions
Forest’s first-leg control leaves little room for doubt
Nottingham Forest claimed a 3-0 victory away to Fenerbahce in the first leg, a result that frames this return match at the City Ground. That margin was established on Turkish soil and could have been wider, as Fenerbahce were fortunate to concede only three in that opening meeting.
Vitor Pereira marked his first game in charge with that 3-0 win, and he nearly followed it with a draw against reigning champions Liverpool in his first league fixture on Sunday. The early signs of his tenure show a side that has already delivered a clear European result and competed closely with top domestic opposition.
At home, Forest have lost only one of their last five matches in all competitions. In the Europa League League Phase they scored 15 goals across eight games, adding three more in Turkey, and they netted two or more goals in each of their four League Phase matches at the City Ground. That scoring pattern has held steady on this ground.
Fenerbahce, meanwhile, managed only one win from four away games in the League Phase. They travel needing a big swing after the 3-0 defeat, yet their away record in this competition has not extended beyond that single victory in four attempts.
A 3-0 first-leg lead, one home defeat in five in all competitions and four League Phase home games with at least two Forest goals align naturally with another home success priced at 1.53.
Tip: Nottingham Forest to Win ( at N/A)
Fenerbahce’s scoring run points to a narrower margin
Fenerbahce have scored in seven of their nine Europa League matches so far. That attacking frequency has been consistent throughout the competition, even with the 3-0 loss in the first leg forming part of that nine-game sample.
Forest’s home record again comes into focus here. They have lost only once in their last five at the City Ground in all competitions, and during the League Phase they scored two or more in all four home fixtures. Across the League Phase overall they struck 15 times in eight matches, before adding three in Turkey.
The tie situation requires Fenerbahce to commit bodies forward in this second leg. Their seven goalscoring outings in nine European games suggest they can find a way through at least once, even against a side that outclassed them in the opening meeting.
Seven goalscoring games out of nine for Fenerbahce in this competition and four consecutive League Phase home matches with at least two Forest goals leave the 2-1 home scoreline at 8.50 within the established scoring range.
Tip: Nottingham Forest 2-1 ( at N/A)
