Prediction
Vitor Pereira's side managed to rescue a point against Fulham at the weekend and it will be hard for them not to have one eye on the six-point clash they have at the weekend against Tottenham.
Forest did not travel well in Europe during the league phase and a trip to Denmark will not be an easy assignment.
Midtjylland's home record so far in the competition has been exemplary and they have proven to be tough to beat in their first nine games in the Europa League.
With only one defeat to their name, Midtjylland can dig in and frustrate their visitors and they look good value to secure a vital victory as they seek to book their place in the quarter-finals.
