City Ground will be the centre of attention when Nottingham Forest and Midtjylland square off against each other in the Europa League last 16, first leg. As the Reds are enjoying the advantage of fresh legs after not playing at the weekend, we predict a 2-1 home win. Forest’s recent form is mixed (wllld), winning only 30% of matches and averaging 2.60 goals per game, scoring 1.50 while conceding 1.10. The expected goals (xG) for Forest at home is 2.04, suggesting they can create chances even against a strong defensive side. The fact that there are no fresh injury worries in the home team supports our betting prediction.
Midtjylland, meanwhile, travel to England in better form. The Danes are unbeaten in three of their last five (wwwdd), averaging 2.70 goals per game and conceding only 0.80. Their away record is solid, with 60% win rate and 3.80 goals per away match on average, though forward Dario Osorio is suspended. Both teams have a history of high-scoring encounters, with their only previous clash producing over 3.5 goals and BTTS.
As both sides tend to score and concede regularly, a high-scoring affair is on the cards. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals, with additional value on Home Win (fresh legs).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 12 March 2026 at 20:00.
