*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

It is clear from these FCSB vs Midtjylland odds that the bookies don't have a clear favourite, although the guests are the expected winners by a small margin.

This makes sense given that the two teams are separated by just one point after the first three rounds of the Europa League, although FCSB have been in a bit better form recently.

Most recent H2Hs: First time to meet on Thursday

This will be the first-ever duel between these teams and it will be the first time for Midtjylland to meet with a team from Romania. Meanwhile, FCSB have met with Danish teams before and they have a record of 4-3-5 against them.

FCSB preview: Hoping to keep the good form alive

While FCSB have lost 4-0 to Rangers in the last round of the Europa League, that was their only loss in the last 13 games in all competitions. In fact, with wins over PAOK and Rigas FS before that, FCSB have six points in the Europa League and they sit in 13th place in the standings, which would take them to the knockout stages.

When it comes to team news, Octavian Popescu and Mihai Lixandru are currently out with injuries.

Predicted lineup: Tarnovanu (GK), Cretu, Popescu, Dawa, Radunovic, Edjouma, Sut, Baluta, Miculescu, Birligea & Birligea

Midtjylland preview: Looking to avoid third loss in a row

The reigning champions of Denmark have suffered a dip in form lately since they've lost three of their last four matches in their domestic championship, although they remain at the top of the standings despite it. They've also suffered a loss in the Danish Cup, but they are still undefeated in the Europa League, where they have seven points from three games.

Marrony and Aral Simsir remain out with an injury, while Edward Chilufya, Paulinho, Gue-Sung Cho, and Victor Lind are doubtful, but could be ready for the game. Also, Emiliano Martinez is suspended.

Predicted lineup: Olafsson (GK), Mbabu, Diao, B. Sorensen, Andersson, Osorio, O. Sorensen, Askildsen, Gogorza, Buksa & Kuchta
