Nottingham Forest vs Ferencváros – Predicted lineup and team news

Nottingham Forest host Ferencváros at the City Ground this Thursday while they aim to secure a vital victory to climb the table.

The Tricky Trees have already moved into the knockout round play-offs following a successful campaign. Manager Sean Dyche will be desperate for a win to keep their automatic qualification hopes alive. Forest currently boast a perfect home record in this competition under Dyche. A victory tonight would mark the first time they have won three consecutive home games in a single major European campaign since 1979.

Sean Dyche manages a squad currently hit by a significant suspension to his star midfielder. Notably, Elliot Anderson is unavailable following his red card in the recent defeat to Braga. Chris Wood and John Victor also remain on the treatment table with knee injuries. Consequently, the manager is expected to name a strong lineup to reclaim momentum after their weekend Premier League victory.

Matz Sels will start in goal behind a defensive partnership of Nikola Milenkovic and Morato. In midfield, Ryan Yates is expected to link up with Ibrahim Sangaré to provide defensive stability. Morgan Gibbs-White will operate in the number 10 role to support the attack. Igor Jesus, who scored in Sunday’s win at Brentford, is expected to lead the line once again. Callum Hudson-Odoi is also pushing for a start out wide.
