FC Midtjylland vs Nottingham Forest Predictions, Betting Tips & Europa League Preview

19th March 2026

Nottingham Forest are not having a good time in the Premier League right now. D D L L D in their last five domestically, 17th in the table, and leaking goals. But they have shown in Europe that a different gear exists, and Morgan Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi can cause problems going forward.

Midtjylland are a tough nut to crack at home. Their Statz profile shows they have kept clean sheets in 50% of their last 10 – the best of any team playing tonight. They defend deep, work hard, and can nick a goal on the break. Brumado and Cho up front in a 3-5-2 give them two genuine threats in behind.

Predicted Lineups

FC Midtjylland (3-5-2): Ólafsson; Sørensen, Erlić, Diao; Bak, Castillo, Billing, Osorio, Bravo; Brumado, Cho

Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1): Sels; Williams, Murillo, Milenković, Aina; Anderson, Sangaré; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Jesus

The Betting Angle

Forest average 16.9 shots per game this season – the highest output of any visiting side tonight – but their conversion is poor: just 3.9 on target from those 16.9 attempts. They create, they just do not finish. Midtjylland’s 50% clean sheet rate in their last 10 suggests they have the organisation to keep Forest quiet.

Tip: Midtjylland DNB (Draw No Bet). Home side, compact defensive shape, Forest in their worst domestic form of the season. The Danish side have everything to play for and will make this uncomfortable for a misfiring Forest attack.
