Nottingham, Stuttgart Lead Europa League Playoffs

February 26, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Nottingham Forest and Stuttgart both carry 3-goal advantages into Europa League return legs after dominant first-leg victories.

Nottingham Forest, led by new manager Vítor Pereira, defeated Fenerbahçe 3-0 last week and will be favored to advance at the City Ground. Stuttgart overwhelmed Celtic with a 4-1 victory in Scotland, a night to forget for caretaker boss Martin O'Neill in his 1,000th career game.

Other teams with leads include Genk (3-1 over Dinamo Zagreb), Bologna (1-0 up against Brann), and Celta (2-1 over PAOK). In the Conference League, Crystal Palace has work to do after being held to 1-1 by Zrinjski Mostar.
