What is at stake for Nottingham Forest and Midtjylland?

Not a minute has gone by in Ange Postecoglou's reign as Nottingham Forest boss, yet the Aussie is already feeling the heat after making a woeful start to his new job.

The former Tottenham Hotspur boss was thumped on debut by Arsenal and backed that up with a shocking cup defeat to Championship outfit, Swansea City. 

Since then, Forest have managed to get a couple of hard-fought draws, though they remain winless under the stewardship of their new Australian manager. 

A win over Midtjylland would go a long way in relieving some of that pressure, and it would also be a historic result, considering the club have not won a European fixture for nearly 30 years. 

When it comes to the Danes, Mike Tullberg's men will be looking to continue their perfect start to their European campaign.

The club reached the knockout stage of the Europa League last season, and they will be looking to do the same on this occasion.
