Prediction: 4-1
KuPS
Midtjylland take on KuPS at their MCH Arena in what is expected to be an interesting Europa League qualifier. Midtjylland faced no difficulties in the double-header with Fredrikstad and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Paulinho returns to the starting XI after the 30-year-old Brazilian was rested in a 2-0 win over Vejle, while Zambia international Edward Chilufya is back from the domestic ban.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in all competitions, with the team beating Inter Turku in the Veikkausliga derby at the weekend. Midtjylland, though, are a more experienced side than KuPS and we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Adding to their woes, KuPS midfielder Jaakko Oksanen serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards. The two clubs have never met before in European competitions.
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.
