Nottingham Forest face Braga tonight, knowing that three points would see the team take a huge step towards a place in the last 16 of the competition.
The Reds deserved their credible 0-0 draw against Arsenal on Saturday and Forest must take that level of resolution into tonight’s game.

Tonight feels like a big one for the boss in the context of Forest’s season and now, his team has been confirmed for the game in Portugal.

Ahead of this game, Sean Dyche has spoken about playing with freedom, but given some of his team’s performances since he came in, talk is cheap at the moment.
Braga are fifth in the Portuguese top flight, and although they have some good players, there is no reason why Forest can’t go into tonight and play on the front foot.

Being ultra-defensive is asking for trouble, and losing tonight would make reaching the top eight almost impossible, and if results go against them, it could actually be ruled out completely.
Dyche has it all to prove to Forest fans, and hopefully, tonight is the night where the handbrake comes off, and the Reds play with verve and tenacity to win a football match.
