Nottingham Forest's European Homecoming: A Quest for Glory

Nottingham Forest is eagerly anticipating its first home game in European competitions in almost three decades, now under the guidance of newly appointed manager Ange Postecoglou. Forest aims to secure a victory against Danish club Midtjylland, building on last week's 2-2 draw at Real Betis in its Europa League campaign. This marks the Premier League club's return to European fixtures since its UEFA Cup quarterfinals appearance in 1996.

Chris Wood, a striker for Forest, expressed excitement, highlighting the significance for fans who are witnessing European matches for the first time. Despite being winless in five games under Postecoglou, following Nuno Espírito Santo's departure, hopes are high for a historic outcome.

Meanwhile, fellow English club Aston Villa visits Feyenoord after securing a 3-1 Premier League win over Fulham. In Scotland, Celtic and Rangers aim for victories against Braga and Sturm Graz. Other European matches include Roma versus Lille, and Lyon against Salzburg, with Israeli clubs playing in neutral venues due to security concerns related to the Gaza conflict.
