Fenerbahce vs. Nottingham Forest: What's the story?

Fenerbahce away is some start for Pereira at Forest.

The Reds are currently involved in a relegation battle in England's top flight, sitting down in 17th spot in the Premier League table, three points ahead of 18th-placed West Ham United.

However, their focus is currently on Europe, and it would be a big achievement to overcome Fenerbahce over two legs and advance to the last-16 stage of the Europa League.

Forest must ensure that they remain in the tie heading into the second leg at the City Ground.

Fenerbahce lost 1-0 to Aston Villa in their last game with English opponents on January 22, but they will enter this match off the back of four straight wins in all competitions.
