Midtjylland hosts Ludogorets in round 1 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, September 16th at MCH Arena (Herning)
In the last Champions League, Midtjylland was able to be remembered for taking points from Liverpool. But Henriksen's charges could not defend their title in the Danish Superliga, taking second place. In the qualification for this Champions League group stage, the vice-champion of Denmark was unable to provide decent resistance to the Dutch PSV, losing 0-4 on aggregate. But the Wolves will have more realistic chances to get into the Europa League knockout rounds.

Ludogorets stopped one step away from returning to the Champions League a few years later. Dambrauskas's charges lost 2-3 to Malmo on aggregate. Since last season, the Bulgarian team has slightly updated, becoming younger and more mobile. And it has noticeably stepped up in terms of strength, knocking out the more experienced Olympiacos from the Champions League qualification. As for the local championship, the Eagles beat their opponents without any problems. And after defeating Cherno More (2-0), they took the clear first place after seven rounds, although they played only five matches. In Denmark, the Bulgarian champion will count on counterattacks.
A year ago, the Danes beat Ludogorets in the Champions League qualification (1-0). The team played only one match because of the pandemic, and Midtjylland turned out to be more prepared. Now the conditions are somewhat different. Midtjylland sold many leaders and became somewhat weaker in terms of strength, while Ludogorets renewed itself and became stronger. Both teams are accustomed to acting from a position of strength and like to attack, so we may well see goals in both nets.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
