"Opening Thursday's fixtures sat in silver medal position and looking to take a giant leap towards wrapping up a top-eight finish, Midtjylland have won each of their other four Europa League showdowns this season. Collecting a heavyweight scalp back on October 2nd as they secured a pulsating 3-2 win away at Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest, Tullber's side will be dreaming of a repeat display here."
"Although Genk might have signed off November with back-to-back victories, Thorsten Fink's men have drastically failed to find any kind of stability this season. Almost sat in Pro League limbo, the Blues have come under some increasing scrutiny and should be bracing themselves for another stern examination on foreign soil. Watching their Belgium Cup adventure come to an end earlier in the month as they fell to a 3-1 loss at home against Anderlecht, the one-time Hamburger boss has seen his squad"
A single point separates the top six clubs, creating a tightly contested Europa League race. Several European powerhouses aim to mount genuine charges as the competition progresses and Premier League sides such as Aston Villa draw attention. Midtjylland occupy second place in their group, have won four Europa League fixtures this season and remain unbeaten at home since late September, including a notable 3-2 victory at Nottingham Forest. Genk have ended November with consecutive wins but lack consistency, face scrutiny after a 3-1 Belgian Cup defeat to Anderlecht and travel to Denmark as underdogs.
