Forest, Stuttgart Lead Europa League Playoffs

Forest, led by Vítor Pereira in his first game, defeated Fenerbahçe 3-0 last week and will be favorites at home. The English club returned to Europe after three decades and hasn't conceded a goal in its last three home European matches.

Stuttgart secured a 4-1 victory over Celtic at Celtic Park, putting caretaker boss Martin O'Neill in a difficult position ahead of the return leg. Other teams with advantages include Genk (3-1 vs Dinamo Zagreb), Bologna (1-0 vs Brann), and Celta (2-1 vs PAOK).
