Midtjylland preview: Hoping to keep their streak alive
Since the season started, Midtjylland have yet to lose a match, both in their domestic championship and Champions League qualifiers, where they've reached the final round and have the second leg against Slovan Bratislava awaiting the upcoming mid-week. That will likely mean that we won't see all of their key players against SonderjyskE, which is the only reason Midtjylland aren't even bigger favourites on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Marrony, Paulinho, Victor Bak Jensen, and Gue-Sung Cho are all listed as doubtful with injuries, while Christian Sorensen will be out for a while.
Predicted lineup: Olafsson (GK), Gabriel, Diao, Juninho, Andersson, Brynhildsen, Castillo, Martinez, Simsir, Franculino & Chilufya

SonderjyskE preview: Can they build on their first win?
After four games without a win to start the season, three of which they've lost, SonderjyskE have managed to get the three points last weekend against Randers, which was a very important win for a newly-promoted team hoping to stay up this season.
When it comes to team news, SonderjyskE have no injury concerns heading into this game.
Predicted lineup: Busk (GK), Oggesen, Gretarsson, Soulas, Wilkins, Qamili, Vinderslev, Emini, Bjorklund, Agger & Ingason

Player to watch: Oliver Sorensen Jensen
With three goals in the Danish Superliga so far, Sorensen is Midtjylland's top scorer and the 22-year-old midfielder is our player to watch in their upcoming duel with SonderjyskE.
Sorensen to score in the first half?
All three of Sorensen's goals in the Superliga this season came in the first half, so we can see him being a threat to SonderjyskE from the start.
