Midtjylland Preview – Can Midtjylland progress?
Midtjylland finished runners-up in last season’s Danish Superliga behind the eventual champions, Copenhagen, so the hosts enter the Champions League at the 2nd qualifying round stage with home advantage in this 1st leg at their MCH Arena, and having now been unbeaten in their last nine home matches overall, the hosts will be in confident mood.
In the past, Midtjylland have only been eliminated from the 2nd round of Champions League qualifying once; if they fall at this hurdle, they will try to qualify for the Europa League group stage for the second consecutive year.
AEK Larnaca Preview – Can AEK hold their own?
AEK Larnaca also finished runners-up in their domestic Cypriot 1.Division campaign at the end of last season which earned them a place in the 2nd qualifying round of this season’s Champions League but the visitors have yet to start their new domestic top flight season.
In addition, Larnaca failed to keep a clean sheet in all of their recent friendlies, conceding a total of seven goals, and their defensive frailties may come into play over these upcoming two legs against their Danish counterparts.
