Nottingham Forest Set for Historic Europa League Home Debut Against Midtjylland

Nottingham Forest, guided by Ange Postecoglou, prepares for their first European home game in nearly three decades. Despite a mixed start to the season, the team and fans remain optimistic ahead of their Europa League clash against Midtjylland at The City Ground.

Postecoglou, who took over in the summer, has seen his side draw two and lose three matches in all competitions. Notably, Forest have lost the lead in three of those games. However, the Australian manager remains confident in his team's progress and urges fans to 'trust the process'.

Midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the team's focus on taking each game as it comes, without prioritizing one competition over another. Forest's last European game at home was in 1996, a 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup. This Thursday's match against Midtjylland will be their first encounter in European competition.

Postecoglou aims to lead Forest to a positive result in this historic game. The team drew their opening Europa League match 2-2 with Real Betis, conceding a late goal. Midtjylland, on the other hand, arrives with a six-match winning streak in European competition.

Nottingham Forest faces Midtjylland in the Europa League on October 2, 2025, at The City Ground. Despite their recent form, Postecoglou remains confident in his team's abilities. With the support of the fans, Forest aims to secure their first win under Postecoglou's leadership and make a strong impression in their return to European football.
