KuPS vs FC Midtjylland prediction 28.08.2025 | Europa League

KuPS return to home comforts after bouncing back to winning form with a 3:1 domestic victory against Jaro last weekend. Saku Savolainen´s first-half goal set the visitors on their way to a vital away win. 

High-scoring outcomes have been frequent for Jarkko Wiss´s side in recent weeks. Six of KuPS´s last eight games have seen over 2.5 goalsThe Finnish hosts have enjoyed a strong run of form, winning five successive matches before last week´s first-leg defeat in Denmark.

KuPS dropped down to the Europa League playoffs after a 3:2 aggregate defeat against Kairat Almaty in the Champions League qualifiers. 

Head coach Wiss is unlikely to make too many changes from the side that edged past Jaro. KuPS have no reported injury issues this week.

FC Midtjylland make the trip to FInland in high spirits after an excellent 4:2 win against Silkeborg last weekend. 

Thomas Thomasberg´s side have been in superb form, scoring victories in five of their last six matches. Midtjylland won by more than one goal in all five victories.

Unbeaten in their last 13 matches since mid-July, the Danes sit second in the Danish Superliga, one point behind leaders FC Kobenhavn. 

Frequently involved in high-scoring fixtures, ten of Midtjylland´s last 14 games finished with BTTS, while four of their six most recent games saw at least three goals scored. 

Head coach Thomasberg could make one or two changes to freshen up his selection this week. Mikel Gogorza and Júnior Brumado are among those who could earn recalls to the first XI.
