A place in the Europa League knockout phase playoffs is up for grabs as Midtjylland and Fenerbahce face off in a matchday eight meeting of the UEFA Europa League. This match at the MCH Arena in Herning on Thursday features the 19th-placed Wolves and the 23rd-placed Yellow Canaries, with our prediction of an away win.
Midtjylland is only two points better off in the top 24 places, while Fenerbahce is just a point above the qualification line. Neither team is confirmed for progression, which makes this match critical.
The hosts defeated Ludogorets 2-0 away from home in the last matchday, overturning a run of three straight defeats. They now need to finish strong, but the last match was their first competitive match owing to winter break throwing doubts over their match readiness here.
Fenerbahce has no such problems as they come here after a 3-2 home win over Göztepe at the weekend in the Turkish Super Lig. That result made it five wins out of the last six competitive matches, drawing the other.
The lone draw was a 0-0 result at home against Lyon in the Europa League last matchday, following defeats to AZ Alkmaar and Athletic Bilbao on matchdays four and six. On the road, their last match in this competition was a 2-1 win at Slavia Prague.

Our FC Midtjylland vs Fenerbahce Istanbul Prediction
With only a point separating these sides and so much at stake in terms of qualification for the Europa League playoffs, this match is likely to be a cliffhanger. Midtjylland and Fenerbahce could start cautiously, but the Turkish visitors have a slight edge. That's largely because of their recent away record as well as Jose Mourinho's experience in Europe. To go with that, Midtjylland has struggled in Europe, and that may continue here. Our prediction for Midtjylland v Fenerbahce Istanbul is Fenerbahce Istanbul wins the match.
