Midtjylland Hold Edge as Forest Face Big Second-Leg Test!
FC Midtjylland take a 1-0 lead into the second leg after winning at the City Ground, where Cho Gue-sung scored the decisive goal. Forest created chances in the first meeting but could not take them, so they now head to Denmark needing a response.
Forest come into the match on a poor run and with Premier League survival also in focus, while Midtjylland have looked more settled in Europe and already beaten Forest twice this season. That gives the Danish side a strong platform going into the return leg.
The second leg should open up because Forest have to chase the tie, but that may suit Midtjylland, who are dangerous on transitions and set pieces. If Forest score early, it changes the mood quickly, but Midtjylland will feel in control if they stay compact.
