Player to watch: Oliver Sorensen Jensen
With a three goals in the Superliga this season, Sorensen is Midtjylland's top scorer in the competition and the 22-year-old midfielder is proving vital for the team, especially since he also added one goal in Europe too.
Sorensen to score in the first half?
All three of Sorensen's goals in the Superliga this season came in the first halves of respective matches, so we can see him being a threat to Lyngby from the start.
