The Danish championship for Midtjylland did not start as they had hoped: a draw at home against Odense – three to three – and a performance that clearly needed to be more robust in defense.
No harm done, though; it’s understandable not to hit your stride right away, but it would be wise to do so given that their next match, on Thursday, is very important. Hibernian are coming to Denmark: the Scots, who have won only one friendly in preseason, would like to return home with their bones intact.
But even in this case, the task looks quite complicated. There is little quality in this team, which relies mainly on physical strength. The defense is also leaking from all sides: in the last nine games (many of which, as mentioned, were friendlies), only once did they not concede a goal, so there is work to be done. But the time for experimentation is practically over. That said, at the end of this first round, the Danes will be ahead. Victory seems fairly obvious to us, and the chances of Hibernian returning home with a positive result are slim. This is also due to their physical condition, of course. The Danes started earlier because of the start of their league season.
