Midtjylland failed to qualify for the Champions League, but their campaign in the Danish Superliga has been very good so far, as Martin Mark's team is the only unbeaten team in nine league rounds. Midtjylland's only defeat in the season actually happened in the Champions League qualifier against Slovan Bratislava. Last weekend, Mark's team played 2-2 on the road against Randers FC. Midtjylland were close to losing points, but they scored an equalizer in the second half's stoppage time and picked up another point.
The 2023/24 season was the best for Hoffenheim in the last few years. However, the new season wasn't good enough so far, as the German side won only three points in four Bundesliga rounds. Last weekend, Hoffenheim lost 2-1 on the road against Union Berlin. The home side finished the match with xG of 1.65, while guests had only 0.36, so it is no wonder that Hoffenheim lost another game. Now, Pellegrino Matarazzo's turn to the Europa League, where they should be good enough for the knockout phase.
Midtjylland vs Hoffenheim pick: Over 3.5 goals
Midtjylland scored 16 goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, Hoffenheim scored nine goals in the previous games. Both teams usually play high-scoring matches, so we should expect at least four goals in the upcoming tie at MCH Arena in Herning.
Midtjylland team news
Midtjylland have big problems with injuries. They will be without Mikel Gogorza, Oliver Sorensen, and Christian Sorensen, who will not be available until mid-October. Adam Gabriel, Adam Buksa, Juninho, Paulinho, Gue-sung Cho, and Marrony are injured too, but some of them could recover on time for Wednesday.

Hoffenheim team news
One of the reasons why Hoffenheim is playing poorly is that a lot of influential players are out because of injuries. At the moment, Ozan Kabak, Dennis Geiger, Florian Grillitsch, Grischa Promel, Ihlas Bebou, David Jurasek, and Finn Ole Becker are unavailable. All of them should skip the game on Wednesday.
