Best Odds: 13/2
Nottingham Forest and Ferencvaros will lock horns with each other in the UEFA Europa League this week. The League Stage game between the Premier League club and the Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I team will be held at the City Ground and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Thursday.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest are a rising force in English football and did extremely well in the Premier League last season. Under then manager Nuno, Forest ended up as high as seventh in the league table, just a point off the final UEFA Champions League spot, and are featuring in the UEFA Europa League in the 2025/26 campaign.
Forest have been dire in the Premier League so far this season. Nuno was sacked earlier this season, and his successor, Ange Postecoglou, did not last for long. Sean Dyche is now in charge of the Tricky Trees, and things are getting better.
The Reds are five points above the Premier League bottom three in 17th place. Forest are 16th in the UEFA Europa League League Stage table with 11 points from seven games.
Forest will head into the UEFA Europa League game against Ferencvaros at the City Ground this week on the back of a 2-0 victory over Brentford away from home in London in the Premier League. It came after a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Braga on the road in the UEFA Europa League, which followed a goalless draw with Arsenal at home in the Premier League.
