Most recent H2Hs: No previous meetings
These two teams have never met before, while Fenerbahce have only played a Norwegian team once in their history. This was against Molde, when the two met in the 2016 Europa League groups and each team recorded a win.
The same is true for Midtjylland as well when it comes to their duels with Turkish teams since they've only played against one of them so far, Ankaraspor, in 2017 Europa League qualifiers, when Midtjylland lost both matches.
Midtjylland preview: Little chance of missing the next stage
While Midtjylland aren't yet 100% in the next stage, they would have to lose to Fenerbahce in their last match in the Europa League and all teams behind them to win for that to happen, which doesn't sound too likely. Still, Midtjylland will want to avoid any surprises and for that they only need a point from this final game of the league phase.
Meanwhile, the team's goalkeeper Elias Olafsson remains out with an injury, along with Franculino Dju, while Gue-sung Cho and Kristoffer Olsson are questionable for this match.
Predicted lineup: Lossl (GK), Mbabu, Diao, Bech, Bak, Andersson, Sorensen, Castillo, Osorio, Buksa & Simsir

Player to watch: Youssef En-Nesyri
The Moroccan forward has been one of the most consistent players for Fenerbahce this season and he's the team's top scorer in both the Europa League with three goals and the Turkish Super Lig with 12 goals. With that in mind, En-Nesyri will certainly play a crucial role in Fenerbahce's upcoming duel with Midtjylland, which will decide the team's fate in Europe.
