- Date: Thursday, November 28.
- Time: 8:00 PM GMT.
- Venue: MCH Arena.
Midtjylland vs Frankfurt will be one of several UEFA Europa League games played on November 28 as the 13th-placed team gears up to host the team flying high in fourth place.
The hosts will enter this contest on the back of a poor run of form. They have lost four of their last five matches across competitions, winning just one game in that span. Midtjylland have conceded nine goals in this time, managing to score only two goals in return as they desperately seek some form. Their last outing in the competition was a 2-0 defeat against FCSB and Midtjylland will look to improve on that performance next time out.
Frankfurt, on the other hand, will enter this game on the back of a stunning run of form. They have won each of their last five matches across competitions. In that run, the German outfit has managed to score 14 goals, while also conceding five goals in the process. They secured a narrow 1-0 win against Slavia Prague in their last game and will look to carry that form forward and into their next match.
On that note, let’s take a look at the team news emerging from both camps.

Key Players to Watch
Aral Simsir (Midtjylland)
The midfielder has been the Danish side’s top contributor so far in front of goal in the Europa League. Simsir has provided two assists and leads the charts for Midtjylland and will play a key role in the next game as well. They play a tough opponent in Frankfurt and Simsir’s vision and ability to play line-breaking passes will be of great importance to his team.
Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Omar Marmoush has been the top contributor for Frankfurt this season across competitions, including the Europa League. He has bagged two goals and one assist so far this campaign and will look to carry those performances ahead as his team enters the crucial stages of the league phase.

Midtjylland vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Since these two clubs have never faced off previously, there is nothing to go by in terms of patterns or history.
