Maccabi Tel Aviv vs FC Midtjylland: Prediction Preview, Lineups, H2h for October 23, 2025

On Wednesday, the “TSC Arena” in Bačka Topola, Serbia will host a notable match in the third round of the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League group stage, where Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv will face Denmark’s Midtjylland. Here’s a look at what to expect from this matchup.

Match Preview

Maccabi Tel Aviv has had a tough start to the group stage. They opened with a draw against PAOK, followed by a loss to Dinamo Zagreb, leaving them with just one point at the bottom of the table. Ongoing away matches due to the situation in Israel have contributed to their struggles.

The team is known for their attacking style, often resulting in high-scoring games. In nine of their last twelve Europa League matches, more than three goals were scored, and both teams found the net in seven of their last ten games. However, their defense has not effectively managed opponent pressure, making it hard to improve their situation without strong home support.

Midtjylland, in contrast, has shown strength from the beginning of the tournament. They have secured wins against Sturm and Nottingham Forest, placing them second in the group. The team demonstrates both offensive capability and strong defense, currently on a six-match winning streak in European competitions.

Midtjylland’s away form is impressive as well; they remain unbeaten in their last four Europa League away matches, winning three and drawing one. The Danes consistently score two or more goals on the road, making them favorites for this upcoming match.

Probable Lineups

• Maccabi Tel Aviv: Mishpati, Kamara, Revivo, Eytor, Asante, Lederman, Sissoko, Belic, Andrade, Abu-Farhi, Varela.
• Midtjylland: Olafsson, Diao, Erlic, Sorensen, Mbabu, Billing, Castillo, Bak, Cho Gue-sung, Brumado, Simsir.

Match Facts and Head-to-Head

• Maccabi has not won in their last three Europa League matches.

Prediction

We predict the Danes have a strong chance to win, making “Midtjylland to win with a (0) handicap” at odds of 1.80 a good bet.
