Midtjylland vs Fenerbahce Prediction and Betting Tips | January 30th 2025

Midtjylland and Fenerbahce return to action in the UEFA Europa League when they square off at the MCH Arena on Thursday. Both sides are at risk of elimination from Europe as they sit separated by just one point in the bottom half of the standings.

Midtjylland picked up three huge points in their push for a place in the Europa League playoffs as they edged out Ludogorets 2-0 at the Ludogorets Arena last Thursday.

Before that, Thomas Thomasberg’s men kicked off their European quest with two wins and one draw from their opening three matches before suffering three back-to-back defeats to put their knockout-stage dreams under threat.

Midtjylland will be backing themselves to come out on top in Thursday’s crunch tie as they return to the MCH Arena, where they are unbeaten in 12 of their 14 matches this season.

On the other hand, Fenerbahce fought back from behind to secure a thrilling 3-2 victory over Goztepe in their Turkish Super Lig clash at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday.

Jose Mourinho hopes the result will give his side the needed boost as they return to action in the Europa League, where they have struggled to get going, claiming just two wins from their seven matches so far.

Fenerbahce have picked up nine points from a possible 21 to sit 23rd in the table, level on points with 24th-placed Besiktas in the final playoff qualifying spot and one point behind Wednesday’s hosts in 19th place.
