Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Midtjylland will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Viborg when they face Sturm Graz in their Europa League opener. Midtjylland are on a four-game winning run at home in all competitions and it is no wonder the bookies see them as hot favourites to win Wednesday’s clash. Both Mikel Gogorza and Dario Osorio are sidelined with injuries, while duo Kevin Mbabu – Paulinho should be recalled to the starting XI.
Sturm, on the other hand, did well to beat Salzburg 2-0 in the Austrian Bundesliga derby at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Midtjylland. As the Hedens Drenge have turned their MCH Arena into a real fortress, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. Speaking of the visiting team, both Kayombo and Khudyakov are out of contention with injuries. In their last meeting at the venue, back in 2022, Midtjylland defeated Sturm Graz 2-0.
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.
