Sky Bet odds<\/a> | Paddy Power<\/a> | Betfair<\/a><\/p>\n Agg: Midtjylland 1-0 ForestKick-off: 17:45 GMT, ThursdayTV: TNT Sports 2<\/p>\n V\u00edtor Pereira\u2019s mantra at Wolves was points first, pints second and if he manages to turn this tie around, I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll have to buy many in Nottingham in the coming days. <\/p>\n His side trail 1-0 on aggregate to Midtjylland<\/a> but the statistics suggest Nottingham Forest were unlucky not to get a result at the City Ground. <\/p>\n They enjoyed the lion’s share of possession (57.5%), outshot their opponents 22-6 and won the expected goals battle 1.72-0.69. <\/p>\n But there\u2019s only one stat which matters and Cho Gue-Sung<\/a>\u2019s goal 10 minutes from time gives the Danish side a slender advantage heading into the second leg on their own patch.<\/p>\n Making the quarter-finals will be no mean feat for Forest, the visitors are as big as 7\/4 to qualify and generally 11\/10 to win the game in 90 minutes. <\/p>\n I am steering well clear of the 1×2 though given Pereira’s side’s recent form. <\/p>\n The 3-0 win at Fenerbahce<\/a> in this competition is his only victory to date, all-told the latest Forest manager has overseen seven games and lost four (W1 D2 L4<\/a>). <\/p>\n The hosts are no push overs either. On their own patch this season Midtjylland have only lost once (W15 D6 L1) and boast a 100% record at home in this competition. <\/p>\n I think cards are the best way in here considering the occasion, the dynamic of the tie and the referee appointment. <\/p>\n Felix Zwayer has the whistle and he\u2019s averaged 4.96 cards a game in this competition. That\u2019s 28 appearances, 129 yellows and 10 red cards. <\/p>\n Combining his Europa League and Champions League numbers and that average jumps to 5.21 cards per game, while he’s dished out red cards in 31% of his 70 appearances. <\/p>\n Across six European appearances this season, he\u2019s sent four players off and in Zwayer’s last 10 Europa League knockout appearances, he’s dished out 56 yellows and four reds cards. <\/p>\n Naturally, the RED CARD IN THE MATCH is worth a punt at 4\/1, as is BOTH TEAMS TO HAVE A RED CARD at 50\/1. <\/p>\n Neither side are notorious in the red card department but given the occasion and the referee, I wouldn\u2019t rule it out. <\/p>\n I’ll also be dipping into the player card market where PHILIP BILLING<\/a> is worth a poke TO BE CARDED at 9\/4. <\/p>\n He has three to his name in eight European appearances this season and a career cards per 90 average of 0.31. <\/p>\n ELLIOT ANDERSON<\/a> is also worth a punt TO BE CARDED at 15\/4. <\/p>\n He\u2019s picked up 16 cards in the Premier League<\/a> since the beginning of last season, which includes two in his last three appearances, and has two yellows and a red in this competition. <\/p>\n It\u2019s also a bonus that these two should be operating in close quarters on Thursday so I\u2019ll have a nibble on the 12\/1 about the CARD DOUBLE. <\/p>\n Odds correct at 17:00 GMT (17\/03\/26)<\/p>\n More from Sporting LifeSafer gambling<\/p>\n We are committed in our support of safer gambling.
