Midtjylland will be looking to qualify for their maiden appearance in Europe’s premium competition, and victory over Swiss giants, Young Boys, will push them a step further to achieving a long-term goal.

The Danish side’s only other appearance in the main stages of a major European competition came in the 2015/2016 season, where they progressed from the group stages, before losing to eventual winners, Man United, in the knockout round.

Young Boys, on the other hand, will be looking to go a step further than they did last season, when they were defeated by Red Star Belgrade in the final qualifying round.

The Swiss champions are familiar faces on the European scene, having made it to either the Europa or Champions’ League group stages in the last four seasons.

Young Boys recorded a comfortable 3-1 victory over Faroese side, Klaksvik, with goals from Pierre Nsame, Miralem Sulejmani, and Ngoumo Ngameleu ensuring the Swiss side would contest in the Champions League playoff semis.

The Young Boys got to the final stage of Champions League qualification last season, but brutally lost to the away goals rule, having to eventually settle for a place in the Europa League, where they failed to make it out of the group stages.

FC Midtjylland, on the other hand, took a less easy path to the playoff semis as they had to see of the challenge of Bulgarian champions, Ludogorets in a keenly contested affair.

Midtjylland’s goal came late in the second half, with Brazilian forward, Junior Brumado grabbing the goal to drive a stake into the hearts of Ludogorets fans.

Midtjylland have suffered numerous disappointments in their attempt to qualify for European football in recent seasons, with the Danish side falling short at crucial moments.

However, they can certainly fancy their chances of seeing off a seasoned Young Boys side to set up an all-important playoff tie against Slavia Prague.

Young Boys and Midtjylland have actually faced off in European competitions twice in the past, with each grabbing a win in their two-legged Europa League qualifier; Young Boys would eventually advance to the latter stages, winning a close tie 3-2, on aggregate.
