- Venue: MCH Arena
Two sides that finished just two points apart in the Europa League format meet on Thursday night as Midtjylland welcome Real Sociedad to Denmark.
Midtjylland won their first league title in four years last season and we are seeing almost a similar form this season. The hosts are currently only separated from the top of the Superliga by goal difference and have the most wins (9) in the league the division season. Speaking of wins, the Danish side managed just three in eight Europa League games, but that was enough to secure a playoff spot.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, are outside the top six in the Spanish top flight. The main reason for this position is their away form and the White and Blues suffered four loses in their last five fixtures on the road. One of those defeats came against Lazio in this competition, but the Spanish side will be full of confidence having won each of their last two games.
Midtjylland vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Although Midtjylland will be the underdogs on Thursday, the Danes have looked solid in recent European league matches at the MCH Arena and I expect them to give Sociedad a tough time. In fact, the Danes have lost just one of their last ten home games in Europe (five wins & four draws).
Seven of those games ended with less than 2.5 goals scored, and considering how poor the Spanish side have been on the road this season, I expect a very close game on Thursday night.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Midtjylland team news
Midtjylland have had two weeks to prepare for this encounter - that’s more than an extra week than the visitors, but the Danish side have three injury concerns.
Kristoffer Olsson (head), Gue-sung Cho (knee) and Elías Ólafsson (broken hand) are all set to miss Thursday’s Europa League tie through injuries.

Real Sociedad team news
Real Sociedad head coach Imanol Alguacil is expected to use most of the side that was on the pitch from kick-off in the win over Espanyol in the Spanish top flight last weekend.
Hamari Traoré was absent from that encounter due to a cruciate ligament injury and should miss Thursday’s game but the Spanish side have no suspensions.
