Nottingham Forest vs Midtjylland prediction
Vitor Pereira has got some brilliant results in charge of Nottingham Forest, with a 3-0 hammering of Fenerbahce in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa League knockout playoff round and a 2-2 draw with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium but they have also suffered defeats to Liverpool and Brighton and Hove Albion, as well as in the second-leg of that eventual 4-2 aggregate victory of the Turkish giants a few weeks ago.
They now face a Midtjylland side that shared a 1-1 draw with AGF in the Danish Superliga at the weekend, meaning that they are now unbeaten in seven matches since returning from their mid-season winter break.
Midtjylland qualified in unconvincing fashion last summer but were excellent in the league phase and should be backed to exploit Forest, as they did with a 3-2 win against the hosts when under the management of Ange Postecoglou in the early autumn, but the hosts do remain favourites for this first-leg.
