FCSB

The team coached by Ilias Haralambous had an unsuccessful away match against Scottish Rangers (0:4) in the previous round. As a result, FCSB suffered its first defeat by more than three goals since 2018 in the Europa League. Additionally, the team ended its 3-match winning streak in normal time in this competition. In the tournament table, the Romanians dropped to the 13th position. - The team did not lose in normal time in 5 out of their last 6 home matches in the Europa League (3 wins, 2 draws). - The club didn't concede in 90 minutes in 4 out of the last 6 home encounters in this competition. - No more than two goals were scored in normal time in 8 out of the last 12 Romanian matches in the EL.

Midtjylland

In the last round, Thomas Thomasberg's men were stronger than Belgian Union in a home match (1:0). Consequently, Midtjylland secured their second consecutive victory, earned seven points, and climbed to the seventh position in the tournament table. Moreover, with only one goal conceded in the group stage, the Danes are among the top five teams in this metric. - The team hasn't lost in normal time in 8 out of their last 10 matches in the EL (4 wins, 4 draws). - A maximum of two goals were scored in 5 out of the previous 7 away matches of the club in this competition. - The Danes scored exactly one or two times in normal time in 11 out of their last 13 away matches in the Europa League.

FCSB vs Midtjylland: Match Prediction

At home, the Romanians are ready to challenge any opponent on the European stage. Primarily, FCSB relies on a solid defensive performance, which is key to their positive results. In 10 out of the last 12 home matches in the Europa League, the team did not concede more than one goal, keeping clean sheets in seven of those encounters. Midtjylland is not known for their lethal attack, especially when it comes to away games. In their last nine away encounters in the EL, the Danes only managed to score more than one goal in 90 minutes on two occasions. I don't expect the situation to improve for Thomas Thomasberg's men this time around, and I believe in the defensive capabilities of the hosts. My prediction: Midtjylland under 1.5 goals with odds of 1.63. Author: [Dmitry Shchurko](https://legalbet.ru/users/131292980/)
