The feature match on the card presents investors with a great opportunity to show a profitable return, as Danish side Midtjylland welcome Welsh outfit New Saints FC to the MCH Arena for what could be a challenging experience for the visitors from Wales.

FC Midtjylland are a relatively new club on the European front, only recently founded in 1999, the Danes have used a cutting edge approach with almost immediate success. The 'Wolves' continue to grow their footballing brand, while attracting quality players to garner their crest, and further advancing them in UEFA competitions. 

Jess Thorup has been in charge of the delightful side since 2015, he is a true veteran of the Danish Superliga, cutting his teeth in several assistant roles, before ultimately getting the call as the main architect on the sideline. Thorup has seen a wealth of success during his tenure, getting victories against such sides as Manchester United, his name in the managerial ranks continues too grow.

The hosts enjoyed a professional 0-2 victory in the UK last week, now with a strong hold on Thursday's fixture, there seems to be an overwhelming confidence they will close the deal against the Welsh minnows, and advance through the third qualifying round.

The Wolves use a very interesting 3-4-3 formation, linking up with an array of short passes, the Danes are clinical moving forward, with Paul Onuachu the primary target man atop the Danish front-line, his two goals last time out in Wales, makes him a likely candidate to repeat his spectacular feat, and place the ball in the back of the net in front of his adoring supporters.

 TNS make the trip to Denmark having gave up two road goals in the first leg, now needing their own 0-2 score-line to even force extra-time, the deck seems too be stacked against the low scoring Welsh-men.

Scott Ruscoe must get his side to perform a herculean effort, understanding his side can struggle at times to score away from home, he has had great success in league play and the opening rounds leading up too this point in the playoffs, his side are fully capable of causing a disruption in front of goal, using crosses and service into the box, with Jamie Mullan the main option to help create a triumphant comeback.

The visitors still look to be outclassed in this contest, lacking the true amount of quality to truly threaten the Danes on their own pitch, I anticipate the hosts to get out to a multi-goal first half lead, and eventually seeing this match through too the next round in Europe.
