"Forest go into the game in 16th-place in the table having won two of their first five matches. They were very poor in losing 3-0 at Everton at the weekend and Sean Dyche will be looking for a significant improvement from his players. The Tricky Trees have not conceded a goal in Europe since Dyche took charge and have a positive record against Dutch clubs, winning three of their previous four meetings."
"FC Utrecht, returning to the Europa League for the first time in 14 years, have found this season's competition difficult. They are still searching for their first win after collecting one point from their opening five fixtures. A home draw with Porto preceded a narrow defeat at Real Betis, leaving Utrecht in 32nd place and five points off the playoff positions with fixtures remaining against Forest, Genk and Celtic."
"Utrecht remain without midfielder Davy van den Berg due to injury, while Victor Jensen, Noah Ohio, Emirhan Demircan and Kolbeinn Finnsson are all unavailable because they were not included in the Europa League squad. FC Utrecht: Barkas; Horemans, Eerdhuijzen, Didden, El Karouani; Engwanda, Zechiel, De Wit; Rodriguez, Haller, Cathline. Nottingham Forest remain without the injured Ola Aina, Taiwo Awoniyi, Chris Wood and Angus Gunn. Gunn and Awoniyi are also ineligible along with Omari Hutchinson and Jair Cunha, who were not selected for the European squad."
Nottingham Forest can improve their Europa League position with a win in the Netherlands as they sit 16th in the group with two wins from five. Forest suffered a 3-0 defeat at Everton and require a better performance, though they have not conceded in Europe since Sean Dyche took charge and have a strong record versus Dutch opposition. FC Utrecht have struggled after returning to the competition after 14 years, collecting one point from five matches and sitting five points off the playoff places. Both teams face notable absences and squad restrictions ahead of the match.
