""We got a point in a really difficult place and it sets us up nicely for this game," said Postecoglou, who won the competition last season with Tottenham. "You have to do well in your home games and win maximum points, especially when every away game is tricky. "[Midtjylland] have a real distinct style to their game - very direct, strong at set-pieces... irrespective of who the manager is. It'll be a tough game, for sure. "There are things we know they will bring to the party but it's up to us to combat that and make sure - particularly because we're at home - that we impose ourselves.""
""You never know when will be a good time to face them," said manager Mike Tullberg. "It will be their first home game in Europe for almost 30 years and there will definitely be a special atmosphere. "We have won our last four games, we are in a good place and we believe we are ready to put in a good performance. "Their wingers are good one-on-one, no matter who is playing. The same goes for their forwards. But we are ready to take on the challenge.""
Nottingham Forest host Midtjylland in Matchday 2 of the 2025/26 Europa League, marking Forest's first European home match since 1996. Ange Postecoglou has lost three and drawn one domestic match since taking charge on September 9 but secured a 2-2 draw at Real Betis on September 24 after recovering to lead for 62 minutes. Postecoglou emphasizes the need to win home games and to impose themselves against Midtjylland's direct, set-piece-focused style. Postecoglou previously faced Midtjylland with Celtic in 2021 and lost on aggregate after conceding a 94th-minute winner. Midtjylland finished second in Denmark, advanced through qualifying with strong European results, and began their league phase with a 2-0 win over Sturm Graz. Manager Mike Tullberg expects a special atmosphere at Forest's home and says his team have won their last four games and are ready for the challenge.
