Competition: Europa League
Market: Both teams to score – No
Odds: 11/8 @ 1xBet
Two camps who will get their respective Europa League adventures underway on Wednesday evening, Midtjylland will welcome Strum Graz to the MCH Arena.
Starting with the hosts, relinquishing their domestic crown last season as they eventually had to settle for a silver medal finish among Denmark’s elite, Midtjylland have plenty of expectations on their shoulders this time around. However, despite falling to a 1-0 loss against Nordsjaelland when returning from September’s international break, it appears that was just a minor blip for Mike Tullberg’s camp. Last seen over the weekend picking up some perfect momentum as they clinched a routine 2-0 victory at home against Viborg, the Wolves have won eight of their previous nine appearances across all competitions. Booking their Europa League group stage ticket on August 28th as they secured a 6-0 aggregate win against Finnish outfit KuPS, the former Borussia Dortmund coach should also be excited by his side’s extended defensive steel. Along with registering consecutive domestic clean sheets, Midtjylland have also come away unscathed in three of their last four showdowns at the MCH Arena.
As for the visitors, despite marking their respective return from September’s fortnight interval with a 1-0 loss at home against Austria Vienna, Strum Graz find themselves in an almost identical position to Wednesday’s opponents. Continuing to impress on either side of the international break, Jurgen Samuel’s men certainly picked up some perfect momentum over the weekend. Putting in a stellar performance as they clinched a 2-0 win away at bitter domestic rivals Salzburg, the reigning Austrian champions have won four of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Signing off August with a routine 3-0 victory away at Grazer AK, Wednesday’s guests have also impressed with their performances at the back. Along with recording a clean sheet in three of their previous four matchups, Strum Graz have also shipped just a single strike in almost 450 minutes of action. Likewise, Samuel’s side have also come away unscathed in all of their last three straight matchups away from the Merkur Arena.
Bet: Both teams *not* to score at Midtjylland vs Strum Graz 11/8 for Wednesday’s Europa League contest @ 1xBet
