Forest, Stuttgart Lead Europa League Playoffs

Nottingham Forest, in Vítor Pereira's first game as manager, secured a 3-0 victory at Fenerbahçe last week. Despite struggling in the Premier League, the English club remains unbeaten at home in European competitions this season. Fenerbahçe has managed just one win in ten English visits.

Meanwhile, Stuttgart overwhelmed Celtic 4-1 in Scotland, a particularly disappointing result for caretaker boss Martin O'Neill in his 1,000th career game. Host Genk and Bologna also hold advantages in their ties against Dinamo Zagreb and Brann respectively.
