Our prediction for this Champions League match:
David faces Goliath at MCH Arena in the Champions League second qualifying round, return leg. Midtjylland rolled over UE Santa Coloma 3-0 in the first leg and the Danes are seen as hot favourites to win Wednesday’s clash as well. Both Cho Gue-Sung and Marrony are sidelined with injuries, while midfielder Kristoffer Olsson misses out with heart problems.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be midfielder Oliver Sorensen, who scored a brace in a 2-2 draw with Nordsjaelland at the weekend. The Andorrans, on the other hand, are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Denmark and given their shaky defence, anything but a routine win would be a big surprise. Spanish midfielder Youssef El Ghazoui is only one yellow card away from suspension, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
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.
