In an exciting clash in the Champions League second qualifying round, Danish champions FC Midtjylland will host Andorran champions UE Santa Coloma at the MCH Arena in Herning.

With a 3-0 lead from the first leg in Andorra, Midtjylland are firm favourites to progress to the next round.

FC Midtjylland's Recent Form

Midtjylland clinched the Danish Superliga title in a dramatic fashion last season, edging out Brondby by a single point.

Despite a shaky start to their current league campaign, drawing both of their opening matches, they showed their dominance against Santa Coloma with a 3-0 away win.

Franculino Dju, Ousmane Diao, and Aral Simsir were on target, showcasing the team's attacking prowess.

UE Santa Coloma's Recent Form

UE Santa Coloma, on the other hand, had a remarkable season in the Andorran top-flight, winning the league by three points and losing just one match.

Despite their domestic success, they struggled in the first leg against Midtjylland, managing only 43% possession and three shots on target. The Andorran side faces a daunting task to overturn the deficit in Denmark.

Team News

FC Midtjylland

Midtjylland will be without Paulinho, Gue-sung Cho, and Marrony, who are all sidelined with knee injuries.

However, they have bolstered their squad with the signing of young Nigerian striker Musiliu Olayinka Odekunle, who may make his debut in this match.

UE Santa Coloma

Santa Coloma has no significant injury concerns. New manager Ramon Caldere may make a few changes following their lacklustre performance in the first leg.

Victor Tellado, who impressed off the bench last week, is expected to return to the starting lineup.

Prediction

With a commanding lead and the advantage of playing at home, Midtjylland are expected to secure another victory.

Their superior quality and depth should see them comfortably through to the next round.
