FC Midtjylland has started the 2025–26 season strongly, following their second-place finish in the 2024–25 Danish Superliga which secured them a spot in the UEFA Europa League[1].
In the opening Superliga fixture on July 20, Midtjylland played a thrilling 3–3 draw against OB at MCH Arena, followed by an emphatic 6–2 home victory over Sønderjyske on July 28, marking their first win of the season after drawing their opener[1][2][5].
The victory over Sønderjyske was highlighted by Franculino’s hat-trick and solid performances from Adam Gabriel and Valdemar Byskov, demonstrating the team’s offensive prowess. Despite conceding the first goal for the third home game in a row, Midtjylland showcased resilience and quality to overturn the deficit and claim the win[5].
Midtjylland also succeeded in European competition, most notably advancing past Hibernian with a dramatic 2–1 extra-time away win in the Europa League qualifiers after a 1–1 draw in the first leg[3][4][6].
Looking ahead, Midtjylland faces AGF on August 3 in Danish Superliga action at Ceres Park and will compete against Fredrikstad in the Europa League third qualifying round on August 7. The current tactical setup under manager Thomas Thomasberg is a 4-4-2, with key players like Jonas Lössl in goal, Kevin Mbabu and Han-Beom Lee in defense, and Franculino Gluda Dju leading the attack[3][4][7].
Midtjylland’s positive run and depth in the squad have established them as a formidable side both domestically and in Europe as the season advances[5][7].
