Midtjylland vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips (6 November)

Who would have bet on the fact that FC Midtjylland would be at the top of the Europa League standings after the first 3 days? And yet, the Danes are indeed leading the way in this C3 following these 3 victories won since the start of the competition against Sturm Graz 2-0, Nottingham Forest 2-3 and finally against Maccabi Tel Aviv last month 0-3. The Wolves are therefore very well on their way to qualifying for the next round of this competition, probably by avoiding having to go through the play-offs. In the league, FC Midtjylland is in 2nd place in the Danish Superliga with 2 points behind AGF despite its big success against Fredericia 0-4. This weekend, the locals will host the leader in an attempt to overtake him in the standings. If Midtjylland has made it so far in this Europa League, the same cannot be said for Celtic.

However, the Scots are not far behind either as they are in 21st position with 4 points on the clock. Able to get a point on the Red Star field 1-1, the Glasgow players then had to surrender against Braga 0-2 before gaining the upper hand over a Sturm Graz team 2-1 reduced to 10. At the same time, Celtic are clearly not in their best form in the league since they are 6 points behind Hearts, the leader, after their defeat against the same team 3-1 on October 26. Since then, Martin O'Neill's men have been able to recover against Falkirk 4-0 and they will face Rangers in the Scottish League Cup. 

A priori, Midtjylland will still have to do without their replacement goalkeeper Olvie Ejeheri and the little-used striker Chilufya. On the other hand, right-back Mbabu (ex Newcastle and Wolfsburg) should be fit again after missing the last day. Excellent at the start of the season, Franculino Dju displays excellent statistics with 12 goals and 3 assists. He also scored twice in this Europa League. At his side, we could find the South Korean Cho (2 goals) and the Chilean playmaker Dario Osorio (5 goals, 2 assists in the league). Also pay attention to Ousmane Diao (2 goals in C1) and midfielder Simsir (7 assists in the league, 2 in C3).

There are a lot of people missing on the Celtic side since the scorer Japanese Maeda (2 goals, 2 assists in the league) and the former Rennais Jota are on the flank. In addition to this, senior defender Carter-Vickers must also renounce making the trip to Denmark. His partner in the defensive sector Alistair Johnston and striker Iheanacho are uncertain. As for the forces present, we can cite the Swedish international Benjamin Nygren (5 goals, 2 assists in the league this season), the Belgian Michel-Ange Balikwisha (ex-Antwerp) or even the Japanese midfielder Reo Hatate. Also note the presence of goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel (ex Nice) in the goals.

• Summary: FC Midtjylland is going head to head with Celtic starting on 6 Nov 2025 at 17:45 UTC at MCH Arena stadium, Herning city, Denmark. The match is a part of the UEFA Europa League .
