Our tip: Midtjylland – Slovan Bratislava: less than 2.5 goals in the match

21.08.2024 21:00

Slovan Bratislava is on the verge of making its maiden appearance in the Champions League group stage, with Midtjylland, who put a stop to Slavia Prague in the last preliminary round four years ago, as the final fourth obstacle.

The paper favourite for the opening game and for qualification is the Danish team, who jumped into qualification in the second preliminary round and knocked out Andorra’s Coloma (away 3-0, home 1-0) and Ferencváros Budapest (home 2-0, away 1-1), who Slovan faced in the third preliminary round last year.

The Belasí are already assured of Europa League qualification, but they are certainly not without a chance against Midtjylland. They haven’t lost once in six preliminary round matches, consecutively knocking out Macedonia’s Struga (4-2 home, 2-1 away), Slovenia’s Celje (1-1 away, 5-0 home) and Cyprus’ APOEL (2-0 home, 0-0 away).

Slovan needs to get an acceptable result in Denmark, which the coaching staff is aware of. The squad is more or less complete, with the fresh addition of forward Metsoko from Plzen, but he will start on the bench. The home side have a few sick players, but they have dealt with it without any problems. Both teams are also in form in the national league, where they have yet to lose.

What to bet on:

The playoffs are coming down to the wire, every goal will make the difference. Midtjylland kept a clean sheet in both home games in the preliminary round, while Slovan scored only once in the last two away games. No more than two goals will fall on Wednesday.

Confidence:

7/10
