Midtjylland, on the other hand, secured a win over Randers and Sturm Graz in their previous Europa League matches.

For Midtjylland, Ovie Ejeheri and Mikel Gogorza will be unavailable, while Dario Osorio is likely to return from a muscle problem. Manager Mike Tullberg highlighted the challenge of playing Forest at their first home European game in almost 30 years but expressed readiness for the match.
The predicted Midtjylland lineup includes players like Paulinho, Franculino, and Brumado in attacking positions, with potential returns for Osorio and Gogorza providing new options for Tullberg.
Both teams are gearing up for an intriguing clash, with Postecoglou and Tullberg making tactical decisions based on the available squad members and injury updates. It promises to be an exciting encounter at the City Ground.
