Will Scottish teams avoid Abyss’s European coefficients?
Hibs will go to Denmark in view of their relative recent European results.
The Leith team failed in six attempts to go through the qualification in the past 15 years.
Host Midtjyland navigated two rounds last season before they lost to Slovan Bratislava in the Play-Offs of the Champions League-and then took 20th place in the Europa League and qualified for the play-off round, where they lost to Real Sociedad.
This explains why the Danes in Europe occupy the 71st place – 166 places over Hibs.
After they had lost 7: 3 against Rangers in 2019 in qualifying, their improvement was so that they had a total of 3-2 from the qualifying of the Champions League two years later.
Thomas Thomasberg is in his second magic as head coach and gathered a young squad with international experience from all over the world.
In advance he has Poland Adam Buksa, South Korea’s Cho Gueung and Guinea-Bissaus Franculino DJU, who is reportedly of interest to several Premier League clubs.
The Sambias Edward Chilufya is accompanied by Denil Castillo in midfield, who has just given his Ecuador debut, while another 21-year-old wing player Dario Osorio plays for Chile and central defender Lee Han-Beom.
Although Kevin Mbabu did not even borrow it to Rangers’ Bank from Newcastle United in 2015, the 30-year-old right-back has played for young boys, Wolfsburg and Fulham since then, while he brought in 25 hats for Switzerland.
Midtjylland is headed by the former Mads Bech Sorensen, the former central defender of Brentford, while experienced goalkeeper Jonas Lossl also played for the Premier League Club and Huddersfield Town in the top English class.
If David Gray’s side can annoy the chances, her next opponents, Fredrikstad from Norway, have limited the European family tree and are currently taking eighth place in the elite series.
Drop to Conference League and Hibs meets one of two teams that have reached second place in their domestic league – Oleksandriya from Ukraine or Partizan Belgrade from Serbia.
