What is at stake for Porto and Nottingham Forest?

Forest emerged victorious in their only previous meeting between the two sides, running out 2-0 winners in their league stage battle last October, but this will be the first time that the pair have gone head-to-head in Portugal.

Forest's only previous European away fixture in Portugal came against Braga at the start of this year, and they suffered a 1-0 defeat on that occasion.

This is the fifth time that Forest have been present in a major European quarter-final - their first since the 1995-96 UEFA Cup, when they lost to Bayern Munich, while Porto are competing in an 18th major European quarter-final.

While Porto are flying high at the top of the Primeira Liga table, Forest currently sit down in 16th spot in the Premier League table, with the Reds facing potential relegation from the top flight.

Forest will be determined to secure a positive result in the first leg of their last-eight battle, and if that is the case, they would put themselves in an excellent position to advance to the semi-finals.
