Midtjylland vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction and Betting Tips | October 24, 2024

The Europa League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Midtjylland and Union Saint-Gilloise lock horns at the MCH Arena on Thursday. Sébastien Pocognoli’s visitors head into the midweek clash without an away win this season.

The hosts were condemened to consecutive defeats for the first time since April as they were beaten 3-2 by SonderjyskE in the Danish Superliga at the weekend. That followed a 2-0 loss to Brondby at the Brondby Stadion, which snapped their seven-game unbeaten run across competitions.

Midtjylland now return to the Europa League, where they have enjoyed a solid start to their campaign, drawing 1-1 with Hoffenheim before a 2-0 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Saint-Gilloise, meanwhile, will look to secure their first win in the Europa League, having picked up one point from their opening two matches. Pocognoli’s men fell to a 2-1 opening-day defeat to Fenerbahce before holding out for a goalless home draw with Bodo/Glimt.

Saint-Gilloise are coming off a goalless draw with Gent in the Belgian Jupiler League, where they are 10th in the standings with 15 points from 11 games.
