FC Midtjylland vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Kennedy Kechula in Europa League Predictions
Danish champions Midtjylland are set to feature in the UEFA Europa League following their fall from the Champions League at the qualifiers. Their journey starts at home to German side Hoffenheim on Wednesday 25th September at the MCH Arena.
We have the prediction for this match as visiting Die Kraichgauer seeks a win in the first ever meeting with Ulvene.
The taste of European action has already left a sour memory at Midtjylland this season, thus the Danes will be hoping for better. Their Champions League campaign ended in a 4-3 loss to Slovan Bratislava on aggregate.
A formidable opponent in Hoffenheim awaits, with the Germans having advanced to the league phase courtesy of their league position in the Bundesliga last season.
They will, however, not be carrying a very strong form to this game, following a tough start to the season. Hoffenheim are on a run that has them sitting just a place above the relegation zone in the Bundesliga.

FC Midtjylland - Hoffenheim: Form Analysis
Hosts Midtjylland will be gunning for a winning start when they resume continental assignments. The Danish champions have only tasted defeat once in their last 21 matches yet that loss turned very costly.
Their Champions League dreams were crushed when they fell to Slovan Bratislava in the play-offs. Midtjylland, however, picked themselves up and go into this match unbeaten in the four matches coming after it.
They won three of those four games but Thomas Thomasberg will be disappointed at the team’s difficulty in keeping clean sheets. Coming into this game, the hosts haven't managed one in their last nine matches.
In this competition, they have just three clean sheets in the last 20 matches. While defensively they’ve struggled a bit, Midtjylland have been superb in attack. They scored in each of the last 21 matches, last failing to score in April.
Both Thomasberg and Matarazzo will be hoping for better defensive outputs from their teams.
Hoffenheim finished seventh in the Bundesliga to earn a spot in the Europa League for the third time. This season they will hope to better their best in the competition.
The last 16 is the furthest the Germans have ever gone in the Europa League. It has been a humbling season already for the visitors, who come to this game on a losing run.
Their only win inside 90 minutes was against 10-man, promoted Bundesliga side Holstein Kiel. Ahead of this game, Hoffenheim lost 2-1 to Union Berlin – their third straight defeat. For the fourth time in five matches this season, Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team conceded the first goal.
In each of their five matches, they’ve conceded at least twice. However, thanks to their sharp attack, the Bundesliga side has not failed to score this season.

FC Midtjylland & Hoffenheim Squad Analysis
Talk about Midtjylland’s attack will be the major focus coming into this game. Two men have dominated that end for the hosts – Franculino Djú and Aral Simsir. In the last 11 matches across all competitions, these two scored 10 goals combined.
When Midtjylland looked like they were headed for defeat against Randers in the last game, Simsir popped up with a stoppage time equalizer.
Ousmane Diao has also chipped in with key contributions in attack, but Midtjylland will need him more in his primary duties – defence. We still expect to see him team up with Mads Bech in central defence.
Goalkeeper Jonas Lossl and defender Kevin Mbabu will share a few notes on Hoffenheim, having played in the Bundesliga before.
Andrej Kramarić for Hoffenheim and Midtjylland’s Franculino Djú will be the teams' attacking leads.
At Hoffenheim the main threat comes in the form of Croatian forward Andrej Kramarić. The striker is already on four Bundesliga goals and a lot of hopes will be placed on him in this match.
While Kramarić hasn’t scored in the last two matches, his impact can’t only be focused on that. He has seven goals in Hoffenheim’s last eight matches in European competitions.
There may be comfort in knowing Kramarić is available here, but Hoffenheim are dealing with a number of absentees. Grischa Prömel, Ihlas Bebou, David Jurasek and Ozan Kabak are all listed doubtful for this match.

Our FC Midtjylland vs Hoffenheim Prediction
The first ever meeting between these two sides is bound to be an entertaining affair if goals are to be the yardstick. Neither of these teams’ last five matches produced under three goals.
Both teams scored and also conceded in those five matches. As the two teams have equally advanced to knockout stages in this competition before, we expect them to pull no punches in this encounter.
In the competition’s new format, getting the points early enough is a key target. With an intensive contest expected, our prediction for Midtjylland v Hoffenheim is for over 2.5 goals.

Both teams to score
As these two teams have been incisive in attack, so have they been struggling in defence. They rarely fail to score, but clean sheets are also spread.
Midtjylland have one in the last 10 matches and Hoffenheim have none this season. With these numbers, and considering how sharp the teams have been, it makes sense going for both teams to score as our second prediction.
