FC Midtjylland

WLWWWD

FC Midtjylland head into this game coming off the back of a 2-2 Superliga tied result versus Randers.

In that match, FC Midtjylland managed 50% possession and 12 shots at goal with 6 on target. For FC Midtjylland, the goalscorers were Franculino Djú (19') and Aral Şimşir (91'). At the other end, Randers had 17 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Norman Campbell (16') and Simen Nordli (45') scored for Randers.

FC Midtjylland have not been the best at stopping their opponents recently, but they’ve also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Looking at their last 6 games, FC Midtjylland have conceded in 6 of them while also getting on the scoresheet in 6 of those matches.

Hoffenheim

WDWLLL 📉

Following on from being beaten in their last game against Union Berlin in Bundesliga 1 action, Hoffenheim will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Hoffenheim had 49% possession and 5 shots at goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Hoffenheim was Marius Bülter (67'). At the other end, Union Berlin had 12 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Tom Rothe (4') and Woo-yeong Jeong (6') scored for Union Berlin.

Hoffenheim have been effective going forward in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 12 times in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Hoffenheim have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same matches. That kind of trend might not be carried forward into this game, however.

📋 Team News: FC Midtjylland

Kristoffer Olsson (Head injury), Paulinho (surgery), Christian Sørensen (Broken collarbone), Marrony (Cruciate ligament injury) and Gue-sung Cho (Knee surgery) will not be taking part for FC Midtjylland gaffer Thomas Thomasberg.

It’s our opinion that Ulvene look set to opt for a 4-4-2 formation in the match with Elias Olafsson, Kevin Mbabu, Ousmane Diao, Mads Bech, Joel Andersson, Dario Osorio, Pedro Bravo, Denil Castillo, Aral Simsir, Franculino and Jan Kuchta.

ℹ️ Team News: Hoffenheim

It’s our belief that Hoffenheim could decide to utilise a 3-4-2-1 system, choosing Oliver Baumann, Tim Drexler, Anton Stach, Kevin Akpoguma, Pavel Kaderabek, Alexander Prass, Umut Tohumcu, Tom Bischof, Adam Hlozek, Andrej Kramaric and Mergim Berisha.
