We are inclined to think that Tigrene seem likely to utilise a 4-3-3 formation with a starting lineup of Andreas Hansen, Peter Ankersen, Kian Hansen, Lucas Hoegsberg, Juho Laehteenmaeki, Caleb Yirenkyi, Mark Brink, Zidan Sertdemir, Benjamin Nygren, Sindre Walle Egeli and Gustav Wikheim.

🧠 Prediction

It looks to us that FC Midtjylland will most probably see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

At the other end, FC Nordsjælland won’t find it easy to score themselves but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.

Our selection here is for a decent 3-1 winning margin for FC Midtjylland at the end of the 90 minutes.
