In-depth Analysis
In the most recent round, both Nottingham and Midtjylland shared the points after drawing with Man City and Aarhus respectively. However, for Nottingham, that result extended their winless run to four matches across all competitions. At the moment, the team sits 17th in the Premier League table with 28 points after 29 matches.
The gap between Nottingham and the relegation zone is now just one point, meaning any further slip in the Premier League could push them into danger. Nevertheless, Nottingham will temporarily put their domestic survival battle aside to focus on the Europa League, where they will face Midtjylland.
Compared to their opponent, Midtjylland are in a stronger position as they currently sit second in the Danish Superliga standings. Their form has also been impressive with a five-match unbeaten run. Notably, in their last six away games, Midtjylland recorded four wins, one draw, and only one defeat.
Meanwhile, Nottingham have struggled at home, winning just one of their last eight matches there. The biggest positive they can take at the moment is their morale after a hard-fought draw against Man City. If Nottingham can stay focused and make the most of their chances, they could still hope for a positive result when hosting Midtjylland.
