As mentioned, Ange Postecoglou is still searching for his maiden victory as Nottingham Forest boss. The former Celtic and Tottenham manager has made a rough start to life in the City Ground dugout, drawing two and losing three of his opening five matches in charge. Moreover, Forest have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of those five matches, conceding multiple goals in three of those contests.
That being said, Postecoglou and his players will consider themselves unlucky not to have defeated Real Betis last week, with Forest winning the xG battle 3.27 to 0.49.
Postecoglou’s Celtic and Tottenham teams were renowned for being strong corner performers, and there are some early signs to suggest that will also be the case with Nottingham Forest. The Reds have racked up a combined total of 18 corners across their last three domestic matches.
FC Midtjylland will arrive at the City Ground in high spirits having won 10 of their last 11 matches across all competitions. Mike Tullberg’s men hit the ground running in this season’s Europa League with a 2-0 win over Sturm Graz last Thursday.
The Wolves have won six of their opening 10 Danish Superliga matches of the season, the most recent of which was a 2-1 win over Randers on Monday.
Each of Midtjylland’s seven matches in Europe this season have featured over 1.5 goals, with the Danish side hitting multiple strikes in each of their last five continental contests. What’s more, no team has scored more goals than Midtjylland (25) in this season’s Danish Superliga. It’s also worth noting that six of Midtjylland’s 10 league games this season have produced over 3.5 goals.
📔 Nottingham Forest v FC Midtjylland Formation & Team News
Nottingham Forest
Ange Postecoglou likes his team to set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with a huge emphasis on dominating possession and for his team to press high up the pitch when they are without the ball.
Injured duo Douglas Luiz and Ola Aina will miss out for Nottingham Forest on Thursday night, while it remains to be seen if defender Murillo will recover in time having not featured since being forced off at Arsenal in mid-September. Omari Hutchinson is ineligible for the hosts after being omitted from their squad for the Europa League league phase.
FC Midtjylland
It’s difficult to predict what formation FC Midtjylland will set up with on Thursday night. Mike Tullberg has only recently taken the reins and he has been experimenting with different systems, opting for a 3-5-1-1 on Monday night while he went with a 4-3-1-2 during last week’s win over Sturm Graz.
Dario Osorio, Mikel Gogorza and Ovie Ejeheri were all on the sidelines on matchday one and neither player is expected to feature on Thursday night.
