Midtjylland vs Sporting CP Prediction & Tips
A great match awaits this Thursday at the MCH Arena in Herning, when the Danish team of FC Midtjylland receives the visit of Sporting Lisbon from Portugal in the rematch round of the Europa League playoffs.
The team coached by the Spaniard Albert Capellas achieved a good result in the first leg (1-1), a draw that could have been a victory, as they were tied in the last play of the match, but on the positive side, it offers some peace of mind for Thursday’s match.
This Monday, Ulvene just restarted the Danish Superliga, and did so with an away win against Viborg FF, to move into fourth place in the standings, ten points behind the leader Nordsjælland.
Despite not having had much official activity in this 2023, FC Midtjylland has played five matches in the year where they are unbeaten (2 wins, 3 draws), and this Thursday they want to keep that good record and what better than doing it at home where Ulvene is unbeaten in their last six Europa League matches (3 wins, 3 draws).
Ruben Amorim’s men are coming from three valuable points in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, after winning at Chaves (2-3), their fourth win in their last five league matches, to move up to fourth in the standings thirteen points below the Champions League positions.
The Leões did not have a good time in the first leg, where they had to wait until the last play of the match to get the equalizer through Sebastián Coates, a result that shows a certain irregularity of the Portuguese team this season where they were eliminated early in the Taça da Portugal, while in the Taça da Liga they lost the final against Porto.
Besides mentioning that their performance in the Champions League was not the best after failing to win their last four matches (1 draw, 3 defeats), and now they will be away in a Europa League where they have only one win in their last five away matches (1 win, 1 draw, 3 defeats).
However, the Lions will be looking to improve on these results against FC Midtjylland against whom they are unbeaten in their three head-to-head encounters (2 wins, 1 draw).
