Midtjylland to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Midtjylland to win because they average 2.25 goals per game and allow less than 0.7 per match. Their attacking output and defensive record are among the strongest in the Europa League this season, and Brann have struggled for both goals and wins in comparison.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/5 @ Betfair<\/a>
(45.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Midtjylland\u2019s high shot volume (200 in 12 matches) and Brann\u2019s tendency to keep things open at both ends. With both teams producing and conceding chances, goals look likely.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
