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

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
