📋 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 seems likely that Ulvene look set to line up in a 4-4-2 formation with Elias Olafsson, Kevin Mbabu, Ousmane Diao, Mads Bech, Joel Andersson, Edward Chilufya, Emiliano Martinez, Kristoffer Askildsen, Aral Simsir, Jan Kuchta and Franculino.

Out of a mainly available group, there’s only the one fitness issue for the Viborg FF gaffer Jakob Poulsen to be concerned about. Zan Zaletel (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that De Grønne appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, giving starts to Oscar Hedvall, Jean-Manuel Mbom, Stipe Radic, Nicolas Buergy, Daniel Anyembe, Thomas Joergensen, Jeppe Groenning, Magnus Westergaard, Serginho, Renato Junior and Isak Steiner Jensen.
