Prediction: 1-1
Midtjylland
Sturm play host to Midtjylland at their Merkur-Arena in the Europa League Group F opener. The Black and Whites failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with ten-man Hartberg, with the team having no fewer than 36 goal attempts in Saturday’s clash. Both Geyrhofer and Kiteishvili are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Danes, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Aalborg. Since both sides are desperate to return to winning ways, both teams to score seems like the best option for this betting tip. There are no fresh injury worries in the away side ahead of the trip to Austria, but all Charles, Chilufya, and Dalsgaard are pushing for a start. When the two clubs met in a friendly seven years ago Midtjylland defeated Sturm Graz 2-0.
