Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the UEFA Champions League match
From the first leg, it became clear that both Slovan and Midtjylland would face difficulties in the final part of the tournament (1:1). Both teams struggle to transition into the attacking third, but the Danish side has more quality, giving them better odds to win in Slovakia.
Slovan Bratislava
On the pitch in Herning, Slovan opened the score when César Blackman surprised the crowd with a precise shot in the 59th minute. Nevertheless, Bratislava were quite fortunate last week: with 0.79 xG and 40% possession alongside 11 corners to defend, they could have easily ended up without even a draw. Their coaching staff now face additional challenges with the injury to key defender Sharani Zuberu, who was substituted in the first half of their first leg against the Danish side.
Midtjylland
It was evident that Midtjylland were not in peak form yet. Their player Edward Chilufya scored with a precise shot just four minutes after coming on. Overall, they generated a solid 1.35 xG from 20 shots, and over the weekend, they managed a 3:2 victory against SønderjyskE, breaking through the opponent after halftime thanks to Adam Gabriel, who scored 1+1.
Slovan Bratislava - Midtjylland Prediction
In Bratislava, Midtjylland will dominate again and create more chances. Slovan will have to wait for errors from their opponents (which may not occur), so we bet on the visitors with a (0) handicap.
