Our Midtjylland vs Ajax predictions for this evening’s 5.45pm (UK time) kick-off back Viktor Tsygankov to assist anytime at 9/4 (bet365), with our score prediction Midtjylland 0-1 Ajax. Ajax travel to Denmark looking to build on an eye-catching win over Atalanta, and our Midtjylland vs Ajax predictions and betting tips side with the Dutch side to come through a tricky Conference League night at the MCH Arena on Thursday 5 November (5.45pm, UK time).
The Dutch side sit 13th on three points, having beaten Atalanta 2-0 at home last time out after losing their opener away at Hajduk Split. Midtjylland, meanwhile, are 25th with a single point after a 1-0 home defeat to Sint-Truidense. As a result, the hosts need to climb into the top 24 to keep their knockout hopes alive.
Premium Tips
Squawka’s Anthony Eadson expects Ajax’s extra class to tell and has landed on two Premium Tips for the trip to Denmark.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Viktor Tsygankov to assist anytime | 9/4 (bet365) | Tsygankov has been one of Ajax’s main creative outlets. Moreover, he should find space against a Midtjylland side that has struggled to keep teams out at the MCH Arena. The winger’s deliveries from wide areas are a constant source of chances. In addition, Ajax carried a real attacking threat in their 2-0 home win over Atalanta last time out. Midtjylland have won just one point and lost 1-0 at home in their most recent outing. Therefore, Ajax should enjoy plenty of the ball in dangerous areas. At 9/4 with bet365, Tsygankov to set up a goal looks a smart way into the game. |
| Ajax to win to nil | 9/2 (bet365) | Ajax kept a clean sheet in their eye-catching 2-0 defeat of Atalanta and look the stronger, more streetwise side here. Midtjylland failed to score in their 1-0 home loss to Sint-Truidense last time out and have managed just one goal in two games all phase. Consequently, shutting them out is far from fanciful. Ajax have also won both previous meetings between the clubs, in the 2020/21 Champions League. At 9/2 with bet365, a clean-sheet Ajax win is the standout price on the board and well worth backing. |

How Midtjylland go into the game
Midtjylland have found the going tough, taking just one point from their first two games to sit 25th. They slipped to a 1-0 home defeat against Sint-Truidense last time out. That came after a 1-1 draw at Egnatia Rrogozhine on the opening matchday.
Goals have been the problem. Midtjylland have scored only once in two matches and failed to find the net in that home defeat. Furthermore, their solitary point leaves them outside the top 24. They will need to be far more clinical to trouble Ajax.
How Ajax go into the game
Ajax have made a solid start, picking up three points to sit 13th. They bounced back impressively to beat Atalanta 2-0 at home last time out, having lost their opener 2-1 away at Hajduk Split.
That win over Atalanta was a statement, and it came with a clean sheet to boot. Ajax have scored in both games and look the more dangerous side going forward. However, their defeat at Hajduk Split shows they can struggle on the road. Even so, they travel to Denmark as deserved favourites.
Midtjylland vs Ajax head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25/11/20 | Ajax | 3-1 | Midtjylland |
| 03/11/20 | Midtjylland | 1-2 | Ajax |
The clubs have met twice before, both times in the 2020/21 Champions League group stage, and Ajax won on each occasion. Ajax won 2-1 in Denmark and then 3-1 in Amsterdam. Still, those games are now five years old and tell us little about this meeting.
Midtjylland vs Ajax predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ajax to win | 11/8 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Ajax beat Atalanta 2-0 last time out and have won both previous meetings with Midtjylland. |
| Both teams to score – No | 9/5 (BoyleSports) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Midtjylland have scored just once in two games and drew a blank at home last time out. |
| Under 2.5 goals | 8/5 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Both of Midtjylland’s games have stayed under 2.5 goals, a sign of how low-scoring they have been. |
| Midtjylland 0-1 Ajax | 12/1 (bet365) | ⭐⭐ | A narrow away win to nil fits Ajax’s clean sheet against Atalanta and Midtjylland’s blunt attack. |
Midtjylland vs Ajax score prediction
Ajax have the better players and the better recent result, but Midtjylland will not make it easy on home soil. We expect a cagey, low-scoring contest in which Ajax’s quality in the final third proves decisive. In addition, given how little Midtjylland have offered going forward, we expect a clean sheet. Score prediction: Midtjylland 0-1 Ajax.
