Midtjylland preview: Hoping to continue their streak
With six games in a row without a loss and just one loss overall this entire season, Midtjylland have been doing very well. Yes, that loss cost them a place in the Champions League, but Midtjylland can be happy with a spot in the Europa League too, which they've started with a draw against Hoffenheim at home.
When it comes to team news, Dario Osorio is suspended ahead of this game, while Mikel Gogorza and Oliver Sorensen are out with injuries. On top of that, Gue-Sung Cho, Marrony, Adam Buksa, Paulinho, and Juninho are also listed as doubtful.
Predicted lineup: Olafsson (GK), Mbabu, Diao, Bech Sorensen, Andersson, Byskov, Martinez, Castillo, Simsir, Dju & Chilufya

Player to watch: Osher Davida
With three goals this season across all competitions, the 23-year-old winger has contributed to Maccabi's great start of the season, so he's our player to watch against Midtjylland as well.
