As we enter match week 4 of the continental competitions, FC Midtjylland will be looking to carry on their perfect record in the Europa League having won all 3 of their previous games in the competition. Whereas Celtic will be looking at add some points to what they will see as a poor start to the competition having only won 1 of their 3 games so far in the league phase.
Key betting tip: Midtjylland to win the game and over 2.5 goals at 1.67 showing amazing value based on tips provided by our team of in-house tipsters
Midtjylland has had incredible recent form having won 4 out of their 5 last games and the only game they didn’t win was a draw. In these last 5 games they have scored 19 goals meaning they have almost scored 4 goals per game in recent fixtures. To add onto this, they have only conceded 2 goals in the last 5. While that is their league form, their form in Europe is just as good winning 3 out of 3 while scoring 8 and conceding 2. Those 2 goals both came from their 3-2 win against Nottingham Forest meaning they have only conceded in 1 out of 3 games so far in the competition. This form and recent dominance make me believe they will be going into this heavy favourite to win the game and should win comfortably.
Celtic go into this with slightly worse form having won 3 out of the last 5 but the other two were both losses. One of the main differences is they go into this game still with the high of beating bitter rivals Rangers 3-1. Celtic have scored 10 goals in their last 5 games averaging 2 goals per game however, they have also conceded a goal per game in their last 5. Meaning that Celtic go into this game with a similar record in the last 5 however, a worse goal scored, and goals conceded. They also go into this with a negative goal difference in the Europa League. These stats and recent run of form mean that they do go into this game as underdogs.

With the data from our advanced algorithm of over 200 pieces of data we have generated that Midtjylland winning with over 2.5 goals @ 1.67 odds. The main factor that has allowed us to get to this decision is their recent form where they have gotten over 2.5 goals in 4 out of 5 of their last games. This also goes for Celtic who have had over 2.5 goals in the same number of games.
Midtjylland predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Olafasson, Erlic, Bech, Diao, Osorio, Billing, Castillo, Bak, Simsir, Brumado, Franculino
Celtic predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Schmeichel, Saracchi, Scales, Trusty, Ralston, McGregor, Engels, Tounekti, Nygren, Maeda, Kenny
Franculino: The top scorer this season for Midtjylland. The 21-year-old has been on incredible form for the Danish team this year having already scored 16 goals and providing 3 assists in 24 games this season. This includes 13 in 13 in the league. In his last outing in Europe, he scored a brace and can definitely cause issues for that Celtic defence that has been a bit leaky this season.
Maeda: Typically plays as a left winger however, he can be deployed across the entire front line, and this could cause issues for Midtjylland defence. He has already acquired a g/a of 4 in 8 games in the Scottish league and will be looking to open his tally in Europe to help Celtic overcome Midtjylland. He will definitely be vital for the Scottish titans to do that.
