Command Analysis
Egnatia
Egnatia was close to getting into the main tournament of the Europa League, but in the decisive qualifying round, the team from Albania lost only in extra time to the Norwegian Lillestrem. As a result, the club ended up in the Conference League, where it will start with a match against Midtjylland, one of the strongest Danish clubs. In the last matches of the Albanian championship, the hosts defeated Partizani (2:1) and Laci (2:0).
FC Midtjylland
Midtjylland is currently in second place in the Danish championship. After ten matches, the visitors have 22 points, which is two less than the leading Copenhagen. At the same time, the guests have never lost in the championship so far. The club suffered the only defeats in the Europa League selection, from where the Danes were eliminated by Besiktas. (0:1, 0:2). In the qualifying stages of the Conference League, Mike Tallberg's team beat the Irish Bohemians (2:0, 3:2) and the Croatian Rijeka (2:0, 4:1).
Midtjylland has gained excellent shape, so the modest Albanian Egnatia is unlikely to frighten the guests. The Danes have much more experience in European competitions, and in terms of composition, the hosts cannot compare with the favorite of the opposition. Most likely, even on the road, Midtjylland's players will surely score three points. Even a crushing victory is possible.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) on Midtjylland for 1.88
