- Forest’s defensive frailties
- The Reds have conceded in three of their last four matches, with sloppy late goals costing them dearly in both domestic and European action.
- Midtjylland’s open approach
- The Wolves have conceded at least twice in four of their last seven European away games, reflecting their attacking but risky set-up.
- Goals almost guaranteed
- Forest’s opener against Betis produced four goals, while Midtjylland’s last two fixtures combined for five, proving both teams thrive in end-to-end contests.
Best Bet for Nottingham Forest vs Midtjylland
Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals | |
49/50 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Backing Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals makes sense because Forest attack with freedom but defend carelessly, while Midtjylland are adventurous enough to ensure an open, high-scoring clash.

Nottingham Forest’s long-awaited return to European competition continues under the lights at the City Ground, with Danish outfit Midtjylland making the trip to England for what promises to be an intriguing Europa League contest. Ange Postecoglou’s men may have shown some swagger in their opener against Real Betis – where a thrilling 2-2 draw highlighted both their attacking quality and defensive fragility – but the frustrating Premier League defeat to Sunderland at the weekend has cast a shadow over their preparations. The question on everyone’s lips is whether Forest can steady themselves and deliver a performance that reflects their potential.

Midtjylland, however, will not come quietly. The Wolves are enjoying strong domestic form and have already taken control of their Europa League campaign with a clinical 2-0 victory over Sturm Graz. That win, followed by a 2-1 success against Randers, has lifted spirits in Denmark and ensured they arrive in Nottingham full of confidence. Their style under Thomas Thomasberg is positive, and they’ll see this as an opportunity to test a Forest side still finding their balance under new management.
With two very different approaches colliding – Forest’s attacking intent against Midtjylland’s disciplined organisation – this tie has the makings of a highly tactical and emotionally charged battle.
Best Bet for This Match
Here at BettingTips4You, we don’t believe in throwing around a handful of guesses. We pride ourselves on clarity, offering just one carefully selected prediction per match. For Forest against Midtjylland, our Best Bet is Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals.
Why This Bet Deserves Backing
This fixture practically screams goals. Forest under Postecoglou have embraced a far more expansive style compared to the more cautious days under their previous leadership, but that attacking flair has come with a price. They’ve been leaking chances all over the place, and it’s no accident that three of their last four matches across all competitions have ended with both sides finding the net. Against Betis, the Tricky Trees looked electric going forward with Igor Jesus a constant menace, yet they also left themselves exposed and paid the price late on.
Midtjylland, for their part, aren’t the kind of team to sit back and hope for a 0-0. They’ve already shown against Sturm Graz that they can strike quickly and punish mistakes, while Franculino Dju and Cho Gue-sung provide real threat up top. The Danes’ domestic campaign tells the same story – they are consistent scorers but often vulnerable defensively, which makes them perfect candidates for a high-scoring European away tie.
Even with Forest favourites on paper, the gulf between these sides isn’t wide enough to expect a clean sheet for the hosts. Midtjylland are well capable of nicking at least one, especially with Forest missing the stability of Douglas Luiz, Murillo and Ola Aina at the back. But equally, Forest should find joy in the final third with Morgan Gibbs-White pulling strings and Hudson-Odoi providing pace and width.

“With Forest’s defensive lapses and Midtjylland’s ambition, this isn’t a night for 1-0 scorelines. Both teams will get on the sheet, and goals are the safest currency here.
Given the evidence, a 2-1 win for Nottingham Forest looks the most likely outcome. It would be tight, nervy, and possibly messy at the back – but enough to finally give Postecoglou his first win at the helm.
