The Champions League qualifiers have already offered us several clashes between reputable football clubs, and among them certainly this one of Midtjylland and Celtic, which will give the final decision on the winner in the return match in Herning this Wednesday.

It is a duel between one club with a glorious past and another that has been achieving great results on the international scene lately. Midtjylland has flourished under billionaire Matthew Benham in recent seasons and reached the title in Denmark in 2020, only to have to settle for second place in the national championship this spring, bringing him a significantly harder path through qualifying for an elite club football competition.The Danish runner-up did well in the first game in Glasgow , but the 1: 1 result is no longer as positive as it was in the past, because Uefa no longer recognizes the "away goal" rule. Anyway, he has a chance to show his best face at home stadium and move on, but he will have to play much better than in Scotland.Namely, in the first game, Celtic was definitely a much better team on the pitch and firmly controlled the situation, until the reckless Nir Bitton earned a red card. However, Anders Dreyer soon earned an exclusion on the other side and the balance of power on the field was equalized again. The Scots stood well on the field and held the lead provided by Liel Abada , until the Brazilian Evander equalized from a free kick in the 66th minute and thus put things back to square one.So the return will show who is actually better. Midtjylland will miss Dreyer as the most valuable player on the market, but coach Bo Henriksen has a balanced team in his ranks that will try to achieve the desired victory through a collective game.Celtic as a former European champion in this match remains firmly in the game, although they gambled the advantage of the home field. The recent 6-2 defeat by West Ham in a friendly match is worrying, but coach Ange Postecoglou did not use his striking forces. Midtjylland also stumbled at the opening of the Danish championship against Odense, so there is room for improvement in both camps.

No doubt, in Herning we can expect a solid game in which no one will risk much until the first goal is scored, and if the first 90 minutes are to be believed, the Scottish runner-up still has more quality in his ranks…

欧冠预选赛已经给我们带来了几场有声望的足球俱乐部之间的对抗，其中肯定有Midtjylland和凯尔特人，他们将在本周三在Herning的比赛中做出最终的决定。

这是一个有着辉煌历史的俱乐部和另一个最近在国际舞台上取得巨大成就的俱乐部之间的对决。最近几个赛季，在亿万富翁马修·贝纳姆(Matthew Benham)的带领下，Midtjylland的事业蓬勃发展，并于2020年在丹麦获得冠军，但在今年春天的全国锦标赛中，他不得不屈居第二名，这让他在获得参加精英俱乐部足球比赛的资格方面面临着相当艰难的道路。丹麦亚军在格拉斯哥的第一场比赛中表现很好，但1:1的结果不再像过去那样积极，因为欧足联不再认可“客场进球”规则。无论如何，他有机会在主场展示他最好的一面，然后离开，但他必须比在苏格兰踢得更好。也就是说，在第一场比赛中，凯尔特人在球场上绝对是一支更好的球队，并牢牢控制住了局面，直到鲁莽的比顿被红牌罚下。然而，安德斯·德雷尔很快就被对方排除在外，球场上的力量平衡再次被平衡。苏格兰人在球场上表现出色，并在阿巴达(Liel Abada)的帮助下保持领先，直到第66分钟巴西人伊万德(Evander)用任意球扳平比分，将比分扳平。所以回报会显示谁实际上更好。作为市场上最有价值的球员，德雷尔将会错过米兰，但主教练博·亨里克森拥有一支平衡的球队，他将努力通过一场集体比赛来取得理想的胜利。凯尔特人作为前欧洲冠军在这场比赛中仍然稳稳当当地留在了比赛中，尽管他们赌上了主场的优势。最近在一场友谊赛中被西汉姆6-2击败的情况令人担忧，但教练安热·波斯特科格卢并没有使用他的攻击力。Midtjylland在丹麦锦标赛对阵欧登塞的比赛中也表现不佳，所以这两个阵营都有改进的空间。
