Fredrikstad will host FC Midtjylland in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League third round at Fredrikstad Stadion on Thursday.
The Danish team had to play in the second round of qualifying for the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. They faced Scottish Premiership side Hibernian FC and, after a 1-1 draw in the first leg at home, finally reached the next round with a 2-1 extra-time win in Scotland.
Fredrikstad, on the other hand, were fortunate to skip the first two qualifying rounds and went straight through to the third round. The Norwegian side have returned to European competition after a 16-year absence and are aiming to qualify for the group stage for the first time in the club's history.

Prediction
FC Midtjylland have not exactly made a perfect start to the 2025/26 season, especially when you look at the national competition. In the first few weeks of the 2025/26 season in the Danish Superliga, they only managed one win out of a possible three, but are still unbeaten. However, the 3-2 aggregate win over Hibernian in the second qualifying round did not really reflect how superior FC Midtjylland were in the two games - they had an xG value of 3.84 and should have avoided extra time if they had taken full advantage of their chances. Fredrikstad, on the other hand, are currently only seventh in the Eliteserien table and have not been very consistent in recent months. With FC Midtjylland unbeaten in seven games, we're betting on a win on Thursday.
Three reasons we expect FC Midtjylland to Win
- FC Midtjylland are unbeaten in 7 consecutive matches in all competitions
- Fredrikstad have lost 2 of their last 4 home matches
- FC Midtjylland dominated against Hibernian in the 2nd qualification round - they registered an xG of 3.84 across the two legs
