OB Odense (Home)
- FC Midtjylland currently sit second in the Danish Superliga 2025/2026 table with 39 points from 19 games, 13 more points than hosts OB Odense who sit eighth with 26 points from 19 matches.
- Zorniger has implemented a narrow, high-pressing system since taking over at OB in June 2025, one which has seen his side create a host of turnovers high up the field and attack at breakneck pace on the break.
- However, a 2-1 loss at AGF Aarhus in the last round of Superliga matches was their second successive away defeat.
FC Midtjylland (Away)
- FC Midtjylland have failed to win in their last two away games (D1, L1).
- Midtjylland have won three, drawn one and lost just one of their last five matches, and their 2-1 Superliga victory over FC Copenhagen in the penultimate round is evidence enough of the change in style Tullberg has brought to the club.
- The game this Sunday doubles as a battle between two new managers, as Alexander Zorniger’s OB Odense side take on a Midtjylland team now led by Mike Tullberg, who’s made an instant impact since taking over in September 2025.
Head-to-Head
- FC Midtjylland have won two of the last three meetings, the most recent clash finishing in a 3-3 draw at home in the Superliga 2025/2026.
- OB Odense have failed to beat Midtjylland in their last three games, and have also failed to find a win in their last home meeting between the two sides.
Key Players
Noah Ganaus is OB’s talisman with nine Superliga 2025/2026 goals from 19 matches , with four of those coming in his last five games, whilst Franculino tops the FCM scoring charts with 16 lethal Superliga strikes in just 17 appearances .
Betting Insights
