Midtjylland take on the visitors AEK Larnaca in the first leg of quarterfinals of UEFA Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 19th at MCH Arena (Herning).
Midtjylland was founded at the very end of the last century. But they quickly made their way to the top in Denmark. A year after the founding of the Wolves, having set a record for the number of points in the 2nd division, they entered the Super League. And in 2015, he finally became, for the first time in history, the champion of the country. Since then, twice more, in 2018 and 2020, it was possible to get to the “gold”. Last season was less successful in this regard. Silver was taken for the second time in a row. And "Copenhagen" broke away by 8 points in the end. Of course, Midtjylland started steadily in European competitions as well. In 2020, they even managed to play in the group stage of the Champions League. The Danes were even able to take draws with Atalanta and even Liverpool. True, they still took 4th place in the most difficult quartet. But in the last draw, already in the Europa League, it turned out to take the 3rd position and reach the playoffs, however, of the Conference League. There, minimally, on penalties, having exchanged victories, they lost on aggregate to PAOK.

AEK Larnaca managed to take the national cup twice, and in 2018, the Super Cup. What has not been possible so far is to become the champion of the country. But in the spring, for the 5th time, it came out to take 2nd place. And all these successes began in 2015. Cypriots periodically "shoot" in European competitions. In 2011 and 2018, it was possible to play in the group stage of the Europa League. True, this is how it all ended. It was not possible after 2019, twice in a row, to play at all in the international arena. And only now we managed to return, and immediately in the Champions League. This will be AEK's debut in this tournament, and, of course, everything should be in order with motivation.
Both teams have recently reached a high level. They have played quite regularly in European competitions in recent years, and not without some success. This will be the first such match between the Danes and the Cypriots. Bookmakers are confident that Midtjylland will take the win at home. Cypriots are very dependent on the field factor. We recommend betting on the Danes with a handicap of "-1 goal".
Prediction for the match: Midtjylland to win with -1.0 handicap.
