Hibernian welcome Midtjylland to Easter Road for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League qualifier, with the tie still in the balance.

After playing out a 1-1 draw in the first leg, both teams will come into this clash believing they can claim the upper hand. However, the Danes will be counting on their experience at this level and having done some good work on their recent travels, should have the upper hand.
 

Hibernian News


Hibernian put up a spirited performance in the first leg to ensure they came away from Denmark with a share of the spoils. They struck early in the first half through Jamie McGrath and fended off a barrage of attacks before conceding after the break.

While there were plenty of positives to take from the performance, Hibernian’s overall form remains suspect as they are winless in eight of their last nine matches. David Gray’s team are also winless in three of their last four home matches, falling 2-0 to English League One side Bolton Wanderers in their previous game at Easter Road. 

One of the issues for Hibernian is a lack of discipline at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in eight of those fixtures, while seven matches in this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

Midtjylland News


Midtjylland will be disappointed not to have made their dominance count in the first leg. They fell behind early in the contest and went on to create several scoring opportunities, but in the end had to settle for Aral Simsir’s second-half equaliser.

Despite the disappointment, the result means Midtjylland are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions, picking up six wins on this run. They have also done some good work on their travels, winning their last three away matches.
 
Goals have not been a problem for Midtjylland lately, but their open style often leaves them exposed at the back. They have scored and conceded in their last five matches across all competitions, with four of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals. 

Head to Head


Hibernian and Midtjylland had never met prior to last week's first leg clash, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Verdict

Hibernian and Midtjylland were on target in the first leg and with the tie still open, could be set for a repeat here. Both teams are expected to score, and with four of Midtjylland’s last five matches producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome is on the cards.

Midtjylland will be keen to set things right on Thursday after missing numerous chances in the first leg. Having impressed on their recent travels, they should come out on top against Hibernian, who are generally unconvincing lately.
