The home team usually plays 4-3-3, favoring offensive transitions and directing their attack through the side corridors. The two arrows aimed at the goal of the “enemy” will be Koroma and Diakhaby, the most offensive reference being the Congolese Mbenza. It is possible that the Bacuna, Pritchard and Hogg act in the most central area of the field. Coach Carlos Corberán should not be absent in this match.

Nottingham are unmotivated after a 2-0 home loss against Cardiff. As the “enemy” of this round, Nottingham usually play 4-3-3, where the three most advanced players are Ameobi, Grabban and Lolley. The visiting club, when going to the offensive process, usually do it on the left line, to take advantage of the quality of the Yuri Ribeiro. One of the characteristics of the foreign emblem is the way in which they can harness the individual talents of their players to create dangerous situations. Coach Sabri Lamouchi shouldn’t be able to count on Tyler Blackett for being grounded.
