We have reached a crucial stage in the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League qualifying process. On Wednesday the 30th of September we have three playoff matches to look forward to including the meeting between FC Midtjylland and Slavia Praha in Denmark. This is the second leg of the tie and the first leg ended in a 0-0 draw in the Czech Republic.

FC Midtjylland come into the game having defeated Randers 1-0 at home in the Danish SuperLiga on the weekend. They opened the scoring after only 6 minutes and that victory means FC Midtjylland are undefeated in their last 4 matches in all competitions.

In addition to the victory over Randers, FC Midtjylland have beaten Lyngby 1-0 at home in the Danish SuperLiga plus recorded a comprehensive 3-0 win over Young Boys at home in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

Trends show FC Midtjylland are undefeated in their last 4 Champions League games. In addition to the victory over Young Boys in the previous round of the competition, the Danes defeated Ludogorets in Bulgaria 1-0 in the second qualifying round. FC Midtjylland have kept a clean sheet in each of their previous 4 Champions League matches and will be aiming for more of the same in this game.

Slavia Praha travel to the MCH Arena on the back of a comprehensive 3-0 home victory against Slovácko in the Czech Liga. That win was enough to keep them in second place, 2 points behind the leaders Sparta Praha.

Slavia Praha have played a total of 6 competitive matches this season and have remained undefeated. They entered the Champions League at the playoff stage, therefore their first match in the competition this season was in the first leg of this tie which ended in a 0-0 draw in Prague.

Trends show Slavia Praha have been struggling to pick up victories in the Champions League and they have failed to win any of their last 7 games. However, that run does include the group stage last season when they were drawn against Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Borussia Dortmund.

Their away form in the Champions League is poor and Slavia Praha have won only one of their last 12 away matches in the competition. They have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 4 on the road, including a 0-0 draw at Barcelona last season.

Team news and FC Midtjylland could be without the injured Kristian Dirks Riis. He is the only doubt for the home team.

Slavia Praha will be without defender David Hovorka who has a knee injury. The rest of the squad should all be available to manager Jindich Trpišovský.

If the first leg is anything to go by, this is going to be an extremely tight and tense game. The teams appear to be evenly matched and it would not be a surprise to see the game end 0-0, with the possibility of a penalty shootout to decide the winner.
