Midtjylland vs Feyenoord prediction: EUROPE: Europa League – Group Stage betting tips on match 2022-10-05 19:00.
Both Midtjylland and Feyenoord won with 4+ goal margins in the last round of this highly competitive UEFA Europa League (UEL) group, results which left all four sides locked on three points apiece as we approach the halfway stage! The Danes have played consecutive home league games following their 5-1 Lazio win, yet their Superliga success this season has been limited by their tendency to draw too many of their matches (W3, D5, L3).
There is a little slice of history on the line for Midtjylland if they can manage a win here as theyâve been matched with Dutch opponents in each of the last two seasons, but are yet to win any such game (L4). Albert Capellasâ men do look to have a decent chance of reversing that form as theyâre unbeaten in six of their last seven European home games (W3, D3).
Since posting an incredible 6-0 win over Sturm Graz in the last group game, Feyenoord have conceded five times across two games in Eredivisie action (D1, L1). While their draw with NEC last time out was surprising, the blow was softened as all of the âBig Threeâ Dutch sides dropped points in the same round when not playing each other for the first time since 2020, in what was a weekend full of shocks.
The Rotterdammers will be hoping for an improved result this time around after they recorded an unbeaten group record on route to the UEFA Europa Conference League final last term, though posting just one away win in their last four away group games is perhaps cause for concern (W1, D2, L1). However, extending a 100% win-rate against Danish sides may provide a strong enough incentive for Arne Slotâs men to prevail here (W2).
Players to watch: Formerly of Dutch side Heerenveen, Midtjyllandâs top league scorer Anders Dreyer has contributed to goals in two of his last three competitive home appearances. Dreyerâs former Brighton teammate Alireza Jahanbakhsh has hit two goals in as many UEL appearances this season, with both strikes coming before half-time.
Hot stat: Just one of Midjtyllandâs last 15 competitive games saw a goalless first-half.
