Sporting Lisbon vs Midtjylland Predictions

  • Sporting have won seven of their last nine home matches in all competitions
  • Midtjylland last played a competitive match in November
  • Midtjylland have failed to win any of their last four away matches (D2, L2)

Sporting a class above Danish opponent

Sporting were a game away from qualifying from their Champions League Group. They ultimately had to settle for third place in Group D and now drop into the Europa League to take on Danish side, Midtjylland.

Sporting have won seven of their last nine home matches in all competitions, losing twice, with both defeats coming against Porto, who have reached to Knockout Stages in the Champions League.

Sporting competed in all bar one of their Champions League Group Stage games, and look a class above Midtjylland, with the Danish side struggling in their domestic league this season.

Midtjylland may be underprepared

With the Danish league coming towards the end of their extended winter break, Midtjylland have played four friendlies to prepare themselves for Thursday’s Europa League Knockout clash. They last played a competitive fixture on 13th November 2022, far from ideal preparations for what is their biggest game of the season.

Midtjylland have failed to fire in their domestic league this season and currently sit in seventh place in the Danish topflight. They are winless in their last four competitive away matches and make little appeal for Thursday’s trip to Portugal.

Sporting to win and both teams to score in the match will be the main selection for Thursday’s game at Estadio Jose Alvalade, with a 3-1 home victory forming the correct score prediction. Midtjylland’s six Europa League Group Stage matches averaged 3.33 goals per game.
