The fixture is set to spotlight Nigerian internationals Terem Moffi, Zaidu Sanusi, and Ola Aina, all of whom are expected to play key roles for their respective clubs.

For Porto, Terem Moffi and Zaidu Sanusi will be available for selection. Sanusi has made six Europa League appearances this season and registered one assist, while Moffi, who joined Porto on loan from OGC Nice in January, has already scored once in two appearances for the Portuguese giants.

Nottingham Forest will rely on Ola Aina, who has featured six times in the competition this season, providing stability and experience in defence as they aim to progress further in Europe.

This encounter marks the second meeting between both sides in the competition this season, adding an extra layer of intensity to the tie.

Nottingham Forest secured a 2-0 victory over Porto during the group phase in October, a result that remains their only previous European meeting and sets the stage for a competitive rematch.
