When Forest coach said that even the weather was against his team in the first game against Midtjylland, he was not joking. The Danish team won in England after Forest’s 22 shots that evening. But the unexpected relegation battle forced Vitor Pereira to focus on Sunday’s ‘game of the season’ against Tottenham so he chose to field out a team with nine changes from his match with Fulham. First-team regulars Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson, Murillo, Igor Jesus, Ola Aina, Matz Sels and Neco Williams were all on the bench in Denmark, while Callum Hudson-Odoi and Taiwo Awoniyi were not in the squad. The return leg pretty much turned into a first game, as Nottingham had all the chances and scored two, and should have at least three more. In the end, the English team made up for that loss and went into the next round but it took them 120 minutes and penalty drama: Midtjylland – Nottingham Forest 1-2 (1-5 after penalties). Midtjylland have won both of their two meetings with Nottingham Fore..
