Each team features the starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament.
Midtjylland
The Danish club, after two consecutive clean-sheet victories in the Europa League, suffered a 0-2 defeat away to FCSB in their previous tournament match. This defeat was Midtjylland's first in the group stage (2 wins, 1 draw) and dropped them from the top eight to 13th in the standings. Additionally, their three-match scoring streak in the Europa League came to an end in the last round.
- No more than 2 goals have been scored in 6 of the club's last 7 Europa League matches.
- The team has not lost in 12 of their last 16 matches in this tournament (6 wins, 6 draws).
- Midtjylland has scored in 9 of their last 10 home Europa League games, and in 5 of those, they scored at least twice.
Eintracht
Frankfurt secured their third consecutive Europa League victory by defeating Slavia Prague 1-0 in the last round. The German club's unbeaten run in the second-tier European competition has now extended to 9 matches (6 wins and 3 draws in regular time). In the group stage standings, Eintracht is in 4th place, trailing the leader by 2 points. Dino Toppmöller's side has scored twice as many goals as they have conceded (8:4).
- No more than 3 goals have been scored in 9 of Frankfurt's last 12 matches in the second-tier European competition.
- The team has opened the scoring in 8 of their last 9 Europa League matches.
- Eintracht's winning away streak in the Europa League stands at 4 matches, and they have scored at least twice in each.
Midtjylland vs. Eintracht: Match Prediction
The Danish club suffered a goalless defeat to FCSB in the last round, failing to score for the first time in the current Europa League group stage. In the upcoming match, Midtjylland faces a much tougher opponent. Eintracht has been performing excellently in the second-tier European competition lately. Notably, Frankfurt won the last Europa League in which they participated, back in the 2021/22 season.
The German club is also showing great results in the current tournament, winning 3 out of 4 matches (1 draw). I don't expect their unbeaten run to end in this encounter. Frankfurt is on a 4-match away winning streak in the Europa League, defeating formidable opponents like Barcelona, Betis, and West Ham during this period.
Therefore, I agree with the bookmakers who have made the visitors the favorites for the upcoming match. I believe they will be closer to success, my prediction: Eintracht with a handicap (0)
