Hibernian vs Midtjylland Predictions

• Both teams have scored in 11 of Midtjylland’s last 12 matches
• There were goals at both ends in four of Hibs’ final five games of last season
• Hibs are unbeaten in their last 13 matches at Easter Road

Hibs can show their mettle

There was nothing to separate Hibernian and Danish side Midtjylland in the first leg of their Europa League qualifying clash and it could be that the Scottish Premiership side can take the tie to the wire.

The Edinburgh outfit were unable to hold on to Jamie McGrath’s early opener in the first leg, but the Danes admitted they were caught off guard by their opponents’ physicality, so Hibs boss David Gray has the perfect model to follow to get his team through to the next round.

They should also be confident that their home form can help see them through.

Free-scoring Danes vulnerable at the back

The Hibees are unbeaten in their last 13 matches at their capital base and they are capable of pushing on with an opening match of the Premiership season to come against Dundee on Sunday.

Midtjylland’s season is just two games old and they followed an opening 3-3 draw with promoted Odense with a 6-2 victory over Sonderjyske on Monday so they could prove vulnerable again defensively and may not have the required answers should their opponents attempt to rough them up again.

A high-scoring game looks likely and a 2-2 draw may be of interest for those looking for a correct-score bet.
