On Thursday evening, from 19:00, Midtylland receives the visit of the Glasgow Rangers, in the first leg of the preliminary round 3 of the UEFA Europa League. The guests, coached by Steven Gerrard, hope for a favorable result in the first game, but the odds for the victory of the Danes are declining.
Da Silva, Riis and Torp will be missing from the hosts’ camp, while “Stevie G” cannot rely on Dorrans, Murphy and Flanagan, who have older medical problems. Midtylland has become one of the best teams in Northern Europe, but has not yet played in the European preliminaries. In contrast, the team from Herning obtained four consecutive victories in the championship, where they defeated Esbjerg (1-0), Nordsjaelland (2-1), Aarhus (1-0) and Aalborg (1-0) ).
Rangers did not play too many friendly this summer, because she was involved in the Europa League preliminaries since the first round. First of all, the white-blue ones passed without problems from St. Josephs, after 4-0 and 6-0, then eliminated Niedercorn, after 2-0 at home and 0-0 away. The same club in Luxembourg had managed the surprise two years ago when it eliminated the Rangers from Europe! And the Glasgow team started the domestic championship with a 2-1 win at Kilmarnock.
Because it is the first match in the double-handed and both teams have shown that they can defend with great success, we will bet on a tight game, in which the difference will be minimal. The draw is not excluded, especially as this result would be gratifying to Steven Gerrard and his students at Rangers.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,83
