FC Midtjylland vs Real Sociedad Preview and Team News
FC Midtjylland Team News
FC Midtjylland sit in 2nd place in the Danish Superliga, with the same number of points as F.C. Copenhagen (33). In the Europa League, it’s been more challenging as the team finished 20, but still qualifying for the playoffs.
The squad defeated Ludogorets and Maccabi Tel-Aviv but lost to Porto and Frankfurt. They ended their group stages campaign with a 2-2 draw to José Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.

Midtjylland were close to signing Stoke midfielder Wouter Burger, but the deal fell apart on the deadline day. The club is known to scout South American talent through their expanded network across the globe. Midfielder Darío Osorio is acting as a goal threat.
Elias Olafsson, Gue-Sung Cho, and Kristoffer Olsson will be sidelined with injuries.
FC Midtjylland predicted lineup vs Real Sociedad (4-2-3-1): Lössl; Bak, Bech, Diao, Mbabu; Andersson, Martinez; Gogorza, Byskov, Sørensen; Buksa.
Real Sociedad Team News
Real Sociedad defeated Espanyol (2-1) thanks to an inspired Brais Méndez, whose individual brilliance was needed to break their compact defence. Luka Sučić was one of the other standout performers, seen as the best performer on the pitch despite not scoring. A victory was important after three losses but goalkeeper Joan García denied Sučić a goal despite his efforts.
Even though it’s been a difficult season, Real Sociedad sit in 7th place, four points behind 6th-placed Rayo Vallecano. This is the last spot to offer qualification for European competitions.

Imanol Alguacil led his squad to a significant win against Osasuna (2-0) in the Copa del Rey. Their opponents for the semi-final will be announced on February 12th. Possible opposition could be Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético de Madrid. This is the third time the club have reached the semifinals under their head coach’s guidance. He lamented, “People don’t appreciate what we are achieving enough.”
Real Sociedad lost one of their most important defenders, Igor Zubeldia, in the match against Osasuna, as he left the pitch injured. It’s unclear if he’ll feature against Midtjylland on Thursday.
Hamari Traoré and Álvaro Odriozola will be out due to injuries.
Real Sociedad predicted lineup vs FC Midtjylland (4-1-4-1): Remiro; López, Aguerd, Elustondo, Aramburu; Zubimendi; Gómez, Sučić, Marin, Becker; Oskarsson.
Bet hereFC Midtjylland vs Real Sociedad Prediction
- Prediction: Draw
- Odds: 2.016 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: FC Midtjylland 1-1 Real Sociedad
While Real Sociedad improved in recent weeks, their rivals were not on the same level as the Europa League. Historically, the club have struggle to perform away from home, which is a problem against an in-form team like Midtjylland.
The Danes were, however, able to stop Fenerbahce (2-2), known for their intimidating atmosphere, which can unsettle even top players.
Real will have to play through Sučić if they want to win, but Becker and Oskarsson’s lack of composure in front of goal could prevent a victory. Also, the possible absence of Zubeldia could make matters more challenging.
FC Midtjylland vs Real Sociedad Betting Tip
- Pick: Luka Sučić to score
- Odds: 4.6 (22Bet)
The Croatian midfielder Luka Sučić has been one of the few bright spots of the season. His signing has given the squad a breath of fresh air. While Oskarsson has failed to meet expectations, Sučić’s involvement in the penalty box has made him one of the team’s most important goal threats. Although he did not score against Osasuna, it would not be surprising to see him net against Midtjylland on Thursday.
