"Nottingham Forest seemed to be a rising force in English football and did extremely well in the Premier League last season. Under then manager Nuno, Forest ended up as high as seventh in the league table, just a point off the final UEFA Champions League spot, and are featuring in the UEFA Europa League in the 2025/26 campaign."
"Forest have been dire in the Premier League so far this season. Nuno was sacked earlier this season, and his successor, Ange Postecoglou, did not last for long. Sean Dyche replaced the former Tottenham Hotspur manager at the City Ground, and he, too, got fired, with Vítor Pereira now the manager of the Tricky Trees, who are 17th in the Premier League table at the moment with 28 points from 29 games."
"Forest will head into the UEFA Europa League game against Midtjylland at the City Ground this week on the back of a 2-2 draw with Manchester City away from home at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League. It came after a 2-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion on the road in the league, which followed a 2-1 defeat to Fenerbahce at the City Ground in the UEFA Europa League."
Nottingham Forest and Midtjylland compete in the UEFA Europa League last-16 first leg at the City Ground on Thursday at 8pm UK time. Forest qualified for Europa League after finishing seventh in the Premier League last season under Nuno but have struggled significantly this season, currently 17th with 28 points from 29 games under new manager Vítor Pereira. The club has experienced managerial instability with three managers this season. Forest recently drew 2-2 with Manchester City after defeats to Brighton and Fenerbahce. Forest will deploy a 5-3-2 formation with Matz Sels in goal, a five-man defense, and Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus in attack.
