Without a doubt, Danish side Midtjylland has been the pleasant surprise of the Europa League; they earned 15 out of a possible 18 points in the first six European matches; only Lyon fared better in that period. Midtjylland suffered only one defeat, against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, but recorded several surprising results, such as their victory over Nottingham Forest in England. In the context of Matchday 7 of the Europa League, Midtjylland travels to Norway to face Brann.
So, on Thursday we have a Europa League match between two teams from Nordic leagues currently inactive due to the winter break. In January, Midtjylland played three preseason friendlies; Norwegian side Brann played two, one against Copenhagen and the other against Slavia Prague.
Brann is currently in 22nd place in the Europa League; a loss of three places in the remaining two European matches would lead to their elimination. Brann comes into this match after suffering their heaviest defeat in European competition since 1976, a 0-4 loss against Turkish side Fenerbahçe in Matchday 6. That was also the team's last official match.

Our SK Brann vs FC Midtjylland Prediction
No team has scored more goals in the Europa League group stage than Midtjylland's 13; however, the Danish team is dealing with the significant loss of Franculino and another absence in defense, that of Paulinho.
So, part of Midtjylland's attacking responsibility falls on the trickster Aral Simsir; only one player registered more assists in this Europa League than him.
Our prediction for Brann vs Midtjylland is: Midtjylland to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
