Midtjylland host Omonoia at the MCH Arena on Thursday for the second leg of their Europa Conference League third qualifying round, looking to overturn a one-goal deficit.

Roman Bezus scored the only goal of the game in the 38th minute for Omonoia as the Cypriot side beat their rivals from Denmark in the first leg last week.

On the contrary, Midtjylland were the better side statistically, mustering 23 shots to Omonoia's 11, while having five of them on target compared to the home side's three. They also finished with 63% possession, and yet, ended up on the losing side, much to their chagrin.

At the weekend, the Wolves recovered to beat Vejle BK 2-1 in the Danish Superliga for their third victory of the top-flight season in four games. With nine points in the bag, Thomas Thomasberg's side are in third position in the league table.

Omonoia are looking to make their fourth consecutive appearance in a major European competition and look poised to accomplish their ambitions.

The Clovers beat Azeri side Gabala home and away in the last round of the Europa Conference League qualifiers to cap off a stunning 7-3 aggregate victory. Now, Omonoia lead Midtjylland 1-0 to have one leg in the playoffs.
