FC Copenhagen vs Midtjylland Prediction
Copenhagen made the trip to Germany and played for over two hours to overturn a one-goal deficit and eliminate Heidenheim on the continent. The Lions will be full of confidence but expended a lot of energy to achieve the feat.
Midtjylland, for their part, were largely outclassed by vastly superior opposition in Real Sociedad. Thomas Thasberg's side are the defending Danish champions and a win here would take them outrightly clear at the summit.
We are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
