Overview
- Kick-off is 8pm UK time on Thursday at Estadio Municipal de Braga, with live coverage on TNT Sports 1.
- Sean Dyche said the pitch is heavy after recent rain and more is forecast, though he described it as playable at present.
- Forest’s leading Europa League scorer Igor Jesus did not train or travel with the group after a knock and remains a late doubt.
- Braga are without top scorer Rodrigo Zalazar due to suspension, with Amine El Ouazzani and Sandro Vidigal injured and January signing Samy Merheg ineligible.
- Forest have 11 points from six Europa League matches and have added Ola Aina and Angus Gunn to their squad, while bookmakers price a tight contest with near‑even odds.
