Forest took firm control of this play-off tie with a 3-0 win in Turkey. They’re expected to rest players in the second leg, which could offer their opponents a glimmer of hope.

Vitor Pereira signalled his intention to take the Europa League seriously by fielding a strong lineup in Istanbul. However, with a three-goal cushion, he’ll surely rest key players here.
Premier League survival remains the main objective. A 1-0 home defeat to Liverpool on Sunday leaves the East Midlands side just two points above the bottom three. League games follow on Sunday and Wednesday immediately after this game.
Fenerbahce need a fast start if they’re to stand any chance. They did quite well on their travels in the league phase, losing just one of their four road games. The Turkish team have lost none of their last 14 away games in all competitions.
That suggests there may still be some life in this tie. Against what’ll surely be a rotated Forest lineup, backing Fenerbahce to win the first half appears to offer value.
