Midtjylland
The Danish club, after two consecutive clean sheet victories in the Europa League, suffered a 0-2 defeat away to FCSB in their last match of the tournament. This loss was Midtjylland's first in the group stage (2 wins, 1 draw) and dropped them out of the top eight, placing them 13th in the standings. Additionally, the team's three-match scoring streak in the Europa League was also halted in the previous round.
- No more than two 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, netting at least twice in 5 of them.
Eintracht Frankfurt
The Frankfurt side 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 Frankfurt is in 4th place, trailing the leader by 2 points. Under Dino Toppmöller, they have scored twice as many goals as they have conceded (8:4).
- No more than three goals have been scored in 9 of Eintracht's last 12 Europa League matches.
- The team has opened the scoring in 8 of their last 9 Europa League fixtures.
- Eintracht's winning away streak in the Europa League stands at 4 matches, scoring at least twice in each.
Midtjylland vs. Eintracht Frankfurt: Match Prediction
The Danish club suffered a clean sheet defeat to FCSB in the last round, failing to score for the first time in the main stage of the current Europa League campaign. In the upcoming match, Midtjylland will face a much more formidable opponent. Eintracht Frankfurt has been performing excellently in the second-tier European competition recently. Let me remind you that Frankfurt won their last Europa League campaign in which they participated, in the 2021/22 season.
In the current tournament, the German club is also showing excellent results, winning 3 out of 4 matches (1 draw). I don't think their unbeaten streak will end in this match. Frankfurt is on a 4-match winning streak away in the Europa League, having defeated tough opponents like Barcelona, Betis, and West Ham during this period.
Therefore, I agree with the bookmakers who list the visitors as favorites for the upcoming match. I believe they will be closer to success, my prediction – Eintracht Frankfurt with a handicap (0)
