Match Facts

  • This will be Nottingham Forest’s first European meeting with both FC Midtjylland and any Danish side in general.

  • FC Midtjylland have played English opposition just four times prior in major European competition, winning just one of those outings in the process (D1 L2) – a 2-1 success vs Manchester United in February 2016.

  • Nottingham Forest will play their first home game in major European competition since March 1996, when they were defeated 5-1 by Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup.

  • FC Midtjylland have won each of their last six games in European competition (incl. qualifiers), their longest ever European winning streak.

  • After his brace at Real Betis on MD1, Igor Jesus could become only the second player to score in both of his first two appearances in major European competition for Nottingham Forest, after Joe Baker in October 1967 in the Fairs Cup.
