FC Midtjylland vs Fredrikstad prediction 14.08.2025 | Europa League

Midtjylland failed to defend their Superliga title last season, finishing just one point behind table-toppers Copenhagen.

The Wolves fans had hoped for a strong start to the 2025-26 campaign, but things have not quite gone to plan. They have won just one of their four Danish top-flight matches so far, drawing three.

Their most recent match was against FC Fredericia at this ground last weekend. Thomas Thomasberg’s side had to settle for a point in the end, despite taking the lead three times during the match.

In terms of injuries, centre-back Ousmane Diao will be unavailable this week due to a foot problem that has kept him out of the last 11 matches.

The good news is that Edward Chilufya will be available for selection after missing last weekend's league game due to suspension.

Fredrikstad finished sixth in the Norwegian top flight last season with 51 points from 30 games. There have been no major changes in the ongoing campaign, with the team currently sitting in seventh place after 18 games.

The Aristocrats also face an uphill struggle in Europe after losing the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie.

However, there is still hope, as the difference is just two goals and they beat Lech Poznań in their away game in Europe.

The visitors' only injury concern is Valdemar Birksø, who has been dealing with a muscle injury since August.
