Nottingham Forest vs Midtjylland prediction

Nottingham Forest began their UEFA Europa League campaign with a reasonable performance as they shared an entertaining 2-2 draw with Real Betis at La Cartuja in Seville. Forest have struggled for results at the start of the Ange Postecoglou era, but this is a brilliant chance to get a European victory.

Midtjylland managed to stumble their way through qualification for the UEFA Europa League with some unconvincing performances. They managed to begin their UEFA Europa League campaign with an impressive and comfortable 2-0 defeat of Austrian Bundesliga champions Sturm Graz. 

Midtjylland were underwhelming in qualification and they will be major underdogs for this one, and so siding with Nottingham Forest is the way to go for this one.
