Midtjylland host Besiktas in the second leg of this Europa League qualifier, trailing 0-1 from the first leg in Istanbul. The Danes must win to progress, which removes any tactical caution from the home side. Midtjylland are without Djabi and Uhre, but their recent form still reads 4 wins from 5, scoring 17 goals across those fixtures. Besiktas arrive with a single competitive win to show in five outings, and their away record in that run is two draws and two losses.
The numbers point toward goals. Midtjylland went over 2.5 in 4 of their last 5 matches and conceded in 4 of 5. Besiktas kept just 2 clean sheets in 5 games. A side chasing a deficit at home, averaging better than 3 goals per game in recent outings, is unlikely to sit deep.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.65-1.67 is the pick. Midtjylland must attack, and Besiktas have not been tight on the road. The aggregate situation makes this a natural high-tempo contest. Modest price, clear structural reason.
