<p>The two will battle for a place in the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League on Friday, April 17, with the game scheduled for 06:00 AEST, knowing that just one goal could be enough…</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Quick Picks</h2><p><strong>Our pick:</strong> Porto to win</p><p><strong>Value bet:</strong> 'Yes' in the BTTS</p><p><strong>Long shot:</strong> Porto to win 2-1</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Betting Preview</h2><p>All the action occurred in the space of two minutes in the first leg, with the hosts managing to go ahead just after 10 minutes through William Gomes. The English Premier League side would level the score moments later with the help of an own goal from Martim Fernandes.</p><p>Porto dominated the game itself and may have come away disappointed that it ended as a draw. Francesco Farioli's side had 14 shots on Stefan Ortega's goal, who was outstanding. The Forest keeper made 7 saves, posted 1.27 goals prevented. By contrast, Forest would only manage four attempts on Diogo Costa's goal, with two on target.</p><p>They shared the ball 50% each, highlighting how competitive the game was between two of the top remaining teams in the competition.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2><p>It'll be interesting to see the approach that these two teams take with so much on the line. One goal could be enough to secure a place in the last four on the night, but will cagey soccer be played out?</p><p>Statistics perhaps suggest that could be the way. The 'Under 2.5 Goals' market has hit in four of FC Porto's last five <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/how-to-bet-europa-league">Europa League betting</a> away matches. However, we think <strong>there might be value worth exploring in the 'Over'</strong>. Of Forest's home matches in this year's competition, they have seen this total be hit four times out of six matches. One of those that didn't was the 2-0 victory over Porto in MW3, but Forest have shown they can score and concede in equal measures.</p><p>By extension, we think this means there's<strong> value in the BTTS hitting</strong>. Both don't appear to have trouble scoring in this competition. Porto have been shut out just once (2-0 loss at Forest), while Forest have improved considerably in the knockouts and have six away goals in three games.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Our Prediction</h2><p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/uefa-competitions/uefa-europa-league/nottm-forest-v-porto-10357755">Nottingham Forest vs Porto betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p><p>We think <strong>Porto offer good value as underdogs</strong> in this game to be likely winners. They have strong away form in the UEL this season, while Forest have struggled at home. The English side have lost both of their home encounters in the knockouts to this point.</p><p>If we're looking for long shot value, we think the <strong>'Porto 2-1' bet in the correct score market</strong> offers good value based on what we've said about the two teams in attack and defence.</p><p>Forest currently sit third in the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/united-kingdom/english-premier-league">Premier League betting</a> standings, showcasing their domestic quality this season.
