FC Midtjylland have won both of their two meetings with Nottingham Forest, both in this season’s UEFA Europa League – they could beat the same side three times in major European competition for the first time.
This will be Nottingham Forest’s first ever trip to Denmark in major European competition – they have suffered late defeats in their two UEFA Europa League defeats to FC Midtjylland this season, in the 88th and 80th minutes at the City Ground.
FC Midtjylland have won each of their last four major European home matches, though they have lost their last two in the knockout phase, both in the UEFA Europa League: vs Sporting CP in 2022-23 and Real Sociedad in 2024-25.
Nottingham Forest have lost the first leg of a two-legged major European knockout stage tie at home for only the second time, though they did progress through the other – they lost 1-0 to Berliner FC Dynamo in the 1979-80 European Cup first leg, but won the second leg 3-1 en route to winning the competition.
No player has scored more away goals in the UEFA Europa League this season than Nottingham Forest’s Igor Jesus (4) – however, he has had nine shots against FC Midtjylland this term but has failed to score.
