One of the matches in the first round of the Europa League will be played on Wednesday at the MCH Arena, where Danish side FC Midtjylland will face German club Hoffenheim. Here's a prediction for the game from the Dailysports experts.
FC Midtjylland
The "Wolves" secured their first Danish Superliga title since 2020 last season, narrowly edging out Brøndby by one point and finishing four points ahead of Copenhagen, one of the top clubs in Denmark. In the Champions League qualifiers, Midtjylland comfortably defeated UE Santa Coloma and Ferencváros but fell short against Slovakian club Slovan Bratislava in the final qualification round.
After nine matches, Midtjylland sits at the top of the Danish Superliga table, remaining undefeated with points dropped in only three games. Most recently, they played to a 2-2 draw away to Randers.
