Midtjylland vs Hibernian: Europa League Prediction (25.07.2025)

On July 25, 2025, at 00:30 WIB, the first leg of the UEFA Europa League qualification quarterfinals will take place between Midtjylland and Hibernian. Bookmakers consider the home team clear favorites. In percentage terms, the chances of victory are estimated at approximately 66% for Midtjylland versus 14% for Hibernian. A draw is given about a 20% probability. Let’s look at the current form of both teams and give our match prediction.

Midtjylland

The Wolves are the runners-up of the Danish Superliga, finishing just one point behind Copenhagen. Last season, the team’s defense occasionally let them down. However, in attack, Midtjylland was the most prolific team in the league. Their home form deserves special mention — the Wolves won 14 out of 16 home matches in the domestic competition. Last season, they participated in the main stage of the Europa League and even reached the playoffs, but were knocked out in the first round by Real Sociedad.

Hibernian

Hibernian finished third in the Scottish Premiership last season — a strong achievement by local standards, as they trailed only Rangers and Celtic, who remain in a league of their own. But is that enough to advance through European qualification? The team lacks experience at this level. Hibernian has only appeared in qualification rounds a few times and has never made it to the main stage. So, it’s no surprise that the Scottish side is once again seen as the underdog. Hibernian will likely play on the back foot and face intense pressure not only from their opponents but also from the home crowd. Under such conditions, the visitors may struggle to cope due to their inexperience in continental competitions.
