Nottingham Forest and Stuttgart Take 3-Goal Leads Into Return Playoffs in the Europa League

  • On Thursday, Nottingham Forest and VfB Stuttgart enter the Europa League play-off second leg with 3-0 and 4-1 advantages, respectively, after controlling their ties last week.
  • Last week, goals from Murillo, Igor Jesus, and Morgan Gibbs-White in Istanbul helped Nottingham Forest take a 3-0 lead into the return leg, thanks to Pereira's strong debut performance.
  • Security sources noted a large police presence outside the City Ground after sections of the 1,500-strong Fenerbahce away crowd launched fireworks, prompting a three-minute delay and intervention by Archie Brown.
  • Vitor Pereira plans to rotate his XI due to 'Eight days, three games' and several injured players, including Matz Sels, John Victor, and Chris Wood, missing Wednesday's training.
  • If Forest advance, they could face Real Betis or FC Midtjylland, and Stuttgart's result increased pressure on Celtic and manager Martin O'Neill, with the upcoming match at Brighton on Sunday.
