FC Midtjylland will be hoping for better shot conversion in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League second qualifying round tie against Hibernian on Thursday. The two sides meet at Easter Road after drawing 1-1 in Denmark seven days ago.
The team from the Danish Superliga dominated proceedings for 90 minutes in the first leg, but struggled to capitalise on chances - only 4 of 23 shots hit the target. FC Midtjylland will need to be calmer and more clinical in the away game if they want to progress to the next round, as Hibernian have shown that they can capitalise on fewer chances and still get a positive result.

Midtjylland team news
In the first leg, striker A. Buksa was substituted at half-time, suggesting that head coach Thomas Thomasberg was not entirely satisfied with his performance. Friday Etim was substituted for the second half, and based on this substitution alone we can assume that he will be in the starting eleven on Thursday.

Prediction
Although the first leg in Denmark ended in a 1-1 draw, which was by far the better result for Hibernian, it is fair to say that the Scottish Premiership side were lucky. FC Midtjylland dominated the game for the entire 90 minutes, fired 23 shots on goal and had an xG value of 1.66, which should have led to a win for the Danish Super League club. Only the poor goal conversion prevented FC Midtjylland from winning, but given the experience of the team, which even reached the group stage of the Europa League last season, they should advance to the next round with a win in regular time on Thursday.
Three reasons we expect FC Midtjylland to Win
- FC Midtjylland dominated in the first leg - they recorded 23 shots and had 74% possession
- FC Midtjylland accumulated an xG score of 1.66 compared to Hibernian’s 0.48
- FC Midtjylland qualified for the UEFA Europa League group stages in 2024/25 and even reached the playoffs stage. They seem to be of a higher calibre to Hibernian
