Recent Form:

Forest’s last outing came away at Manchester City where they put in a resilient performance to battle to a 2-2 draw, coming back from behind twice to secure a vital point in their hopes of Premier League safety.

However, their last win came in the first leg against Fenerbache and they haven’t won in the league since late January, leaving them in serious danger of Premier League relegation.

Midtjylland, on the other hand, are unbeaten in all competitions since mid December.

The Danish side were mightily impressive in the group phase of the Europa League as they finished third in the table, beating the likes of Celtic and Nottingham Forest in the process.

What’s been said:

Nottingham Forest manager Vitor Perreira said: “We must learn with the last game against them (Fc Midtjylland) and play with our qualities, because we have the spirit. We have our qualities, our tools, our organisation, our dynamics. Tomorrow I believe that, with our supporters, we can play in a very good level and to get a good result.”
