Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Niedercorn of Luxembourg will look to claim a major scalp in the Conference League third qualifying round when they face Midtjylland in Differdange in the return leg. The hosts need a big win on home soil if they are to advance to round 3, but the bookies once again see them as the underdogs in this encounter. Defender Hamadou Karamoko should be cautious as he is only one yellow card away from suspension.
The Danes, meanwhile, are with one foot in the next qualifying round and given their attacking potential, we believe that they will give fans yet another reason to celebrate on Thursday evening. Keep in mind, though, that both Junior Brumado and Joel Andersson have been struggling with injuries of late for the visiting side. South Korea forward Gue-Sung Cho should keep his place up front after finding the net in a 2-0 triumph over Silkeborg at the weekend.
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.
