Derry City take on the visitors Midtjylland at “Showgrounds” in the second-leg game of the 1/8 stage of the Qualification to the UEFA Europa League 2017/2018. The match will be played in Sligo on Thursday, July 6th. The first-leg game in Denmark ended with 6:1 scoreline in favour of the hosts.
Derry City came up in a poor competitive form to the Eurocups. The side has managed to get just two victories in nine encounters since the 8th of May. In the Irish’ Premier Division Derry City occupy the fifth place in the table with 28 points taken and 29-22 goal difference. The Irish’ losing streak counts for three clashes. “The Candystripes” were smashed in the first-leg fight in Denmark with 1:6 scoreline even though they didn’t deserve such outcome basing on their performance; still, six out of nine shots on their goals were effective. Concerning the team’s results at the home field, in 2017 Derry City recorded five triumphs, two draws and three losses in 10 matches.

Last season Midtjylland settled on the fourth position in the standings of the Danish Superliga with 54 points gained and 67-53 goal difference. On the eve of the first-leg game in the Qualification, the Danes were favourites of the pair, however, none expected that they would smash the Irish with a such scoreline. “Ulvene” have used nearly all their goal attempts at the opposite goals and now they may prepare to the next round on loose. In 2017 Midtjylland participated in nine encounters on the road resulting in four wins, two draws and three defeats.
Just after the first-leg clash the outcome of the battle in this pair is quite clear. Consequently, the opponents may take the field and play at their leisure. The hosts will surely try to become successful at least in the upcoming head-to-head, while the visiting side will get a chance to make experiments with a line-up. I believe that the rivals will please the spectators with a number of scored goals as it was a week ago.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
