UE Santa Coloma vs Midtjylland Prediction & Betting Tips (23 July)

AMAZING ! UE Santa Coloma did it! He achieved the feat of progressing to this 2nd round by taking out a club which played in the Conference League last season, FC Ballkani. After a defeat in the first leg at home 1-2, the Andorran team played in numerical superiority for more than a half but had to wait for a CSC in stoppage time in the 2nd period to go into overtime. At 10 against 11, the Kosovars gave in in the 102nd minute before losing in the penalty shootout. The level will go up a notch, so it's not the Tourmalet, but the Danish team still seems to be a first category opponent for the locals. Midtjylland is the favorite in this double opposition and rightly so and it will have to confirm its status.

We are still talking about the reigning Danish champion, who also put an end to the domination of Copenhagen, a club which played in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League during the previous edition. The Wolves clearly want to overcome their elimination in the Conference League play-off last season which prevented them from participating in any European competition. During the pre-season, they participated in four friendlies with victories against Aarhus 4-0 and against Schalke 04 2-4. They still suffered a setback against the very convincing formation of Sturm Graz 1-0.

Decisive coming off the bench in the return against FC Ballkani by scoring the 3-3 goal in overtime, Franco Monzon is clearly the national hero. Scorer on the first leg, starting midfielder El Ghazoui did not score again on the return leg. We expect much more from the talented Pablo Molina (4 goals in the league last season) or even from Cifuentes (5 goals in the league last year). Gomez (5 pawns last year) sat on the bench last week on the return.

Remember that Faysal (5 pawns) and L'Koucha (11 goals, top scorer in the squad in the league last year) left the ship during the off-season. Absent during the pre-season friendlies, Cho (12 goals, 4 assists in the league last year) could still launch his season this evening alongside Franculino (11 goals, 3 assists), midfielder Sorensen ( 5 goals, 4 assists) and striker Ola Brynhildsen (5 pawns). In terms of absences, Osorio (8 goals, 2 assists) could still be a little short physically following his participation in the Copa America with Chile.
