There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round meeting between AEK Larnaca and Midtjylland. Game on!

Midtjylland have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Midtjylland could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Superliga game only four sleeps ago.

Midtjylland form and stats

Midtjylland was sent out of Champions League in the 3rd qualifying round last season, when PSV turned out to be too strong.

The manager Henriksen was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium MCH Arena. Midtjylland suffered a 1-3 loss to Silkeborg. Dreyer, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.52. Dreyer scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Midtjylland have another game away from home in just three nights, a Superliga game versus OB. A hard schedule for them!
