Nottingham Forest predicted XI vs FC Midtjylland: Tricky Trees fight to keep European dream alive

Nottingham Forest predicted XI vs FC Midtjylland: Tricky Trees fight to keep European dream alive Nottingham Forest head to Denmark on Thursday night with their Europa League hopes hanging by a thread. A narrow 1-0 defeat at the City Ground last week leaves Nottingham Forest needing a response against FC Midtjylland at MCH Arena. With relegation concerns mounting domestically, Europe now offers struggling Forest an escape and a lifeline.

Match preview Forest’s issues are becoming painfully familiar – control without conviction. The Tricky Trees fired 22 shots in the first leg but failed to score, a theme that carried into their goalless draw with Fulham at the weekend. Pereira’s side is creating, but not converting.

The Portuguese tactician made a flying start with a 3-0 win over Fenerbahce, but momentum has stalled. Nottingham Forest are now winless in six matches across all competitions, drifting into trouble at the worst possible time of the season. However, there is a flicker of hope on the road.

Forest have scored nine goals in their last five away games and have already picked up two wins on their Europa League travels. Midtjylland, though, are ruthless. Efficient in the first leg, they punished Forest with one of just two shots on target.
