Prediction: 2-0
Slovan Bratislava
Midtjylland will look to build on a 2-1 win over Lyngby when they take on Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League final qualifying round, first leg. Midtjylland eliminated Ferencvaros in the previous round and they are seen as favourites to win Wednesday’s encounter. Christian Sorensen is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with fellow defender Joel Andersson being ready to step up.
The Slovaks, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Midtjylland by beating APOEL of Cyprus in the two-legged tie. Slovan Bratislava, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the Danish champions. David Strelec returns to Slovan’s starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 2-1 win over Kosice, while Guram Kashia is only one yellow card away from suspension.
Highlighted Team (Midtjylland):
Despite being founded on February 2, 1999, FC Midtjylland is considered one of the best Danish clubs. The Wolves have quickly established themselves as one of the dominant forces in Superliga, with the team clinching their first league title in the 2014/15 season.
Three seasons later Midtjylland repeated the success, with the team finishing the process four points clear of second-place Brondby. In the 2019/20 season the Wolves won their third domestic trophy, leaving Danish giants Copenhagen in the second place. Midtjylland welcome their rivals at MCH Arena, the venue which can hold up to 11,432 people.
In the 2020/21 season the Wolves did well to book their place in the Champions League group stages, with the team being grouped with the likes of Liverpool, Ajax, and Atalanta. Midtjylland are well known for their excellent scouting system, with a number of young and talented players from Africa joining the club year by year.
