Europa League 2025-2026: Nottingham Forest-Midtjylland, the likely lineups

Nottingham Forest receives Midtjylland on the second day of the Europa League group stage. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the City Ground in Nottingham. After a 2-2 draw in the opener at Celta Vigo, the Englishmen are looking for their first European success, while the guests arrive in high spirits after a 2-0 win over Sturm Graz.

Postecoglou confirms the 4-2-3-1 with Igor Jesus again in the center of the attack, supported on the three-quarter by Gibbs-White. In the middle of the field space for the Sangaré-Anderson pair, while in defense Murillo is expected to flank Milenkovic. Ola Aina and Douglas Luiz will not be in the match.

The Midtjylland, led by Tullberg, will rely on a 3-4-1-2: up front the attacking pair of Franculino and Cho, with Castillo acting as a finisher. On the outsides will be Mbabu and Bak, while Erlic will be the mainstay of the defensive line completed by Diao and Sorensen. Absent will be Ejeheri and Gogorza.
