Midtjylland return to action in the UEFA Europa League when they visit the National Arena to take on FCSB on Thursday. The Danish outfit head into the midweek clash unbeaten in their three games in Europe and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.
FCSB were denied their sixth win of the Romanian Superliga campaign as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Universitatea Craiova at the Ion Oblemenco Stadium last weekend.
This followed a 4-0 thrashing of Dinamo București in the Romanian Cup on October 30 which saw their two-match winless run come to an end.
FCSB now turn their focus to the Europa League, where they kicked off their campaign with back-to-back wins against Rigas and PAOK, before losing 4-1 to Scottish powerhouse Rangers on October 24.
On the other hand, Midtjylland were on the receiving end of a 5-1 hammering at the hands of Brondby in the Danish Superliga last Sunday.
This was a second consecutive defeat to Brondby for Thomas Thomasberg’s men, who lost 1-0 when the two sides squared off in the fourth round of the Danish Cup on October 31.
Midtjylland now head to the Europa League, where they have picked up seven points from the first nine available, having played out a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim on September 25 before claiming successive wins over Maccabi Tel Aviv and Union Saint-Gilloise respectively.
