"Forest cruised to a 3-0 win in Turkey last week, marking Vitor Pereira's first game in charge in style. They will face either Real Betis or Midtjylland should they get the job done at The City Ground."
"This is Forest's first European knockout stage tie since their 1995/96 quarter-final defeat in this competition against eventual champions Bayern, losing 7-2 on aggregate."
"Forest's last-gasp 1-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday meant they have gone more than 265 minutes without a home goal in all competitions, also drawing 0-0 with Pereira's former club, Wolves."
"Pereira was Fenerbahce boss between 2015 and 2016 and in 2021, leading them to the Turkish Cup final in the first of those spells."
Nottingham Forest faces Fenerbahce in the second leg of their Europa League play-off round tie at The City Ground. Forest dominated the first leg in Turkey with a commanding 3-0 victory, marking Vitor Pereira's impressive debut as manager. A win will secure Forest's progression to the last 16, where they will face either Real Betis or Midtjylland. This represents Forest's first European knockout stage tie since 1995/96. However, Forest enters the match struggling for form, having failed to score in their last 265 minutes at home across all competitions following a recent 1-0 defeat to Liverpool.
