The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of qualifiers this week as Celtic lock horns with Midtjylland at the MCH Arena on Wednesday. Both teams can be impressive on their day and will want to win this game.
Midtjylland have grown in stature over the past few years and could potentially qualify for the UEFA Champions League this year. The Danish giants failed to win the league last year and have plenty of work to do in the months to come.
Celtic, on the other hand, have endured a difficult couple of years and will need to prove a point in this match. The Scottish giants have plenty of work to do under Ange Postecoglou and will need to be at their best in this fixture.
Midtjylland vs Celtic Head-to-Head
Celtic have played only one match against Midtjylland and were unable to secure a victory on the day. Midtjylland were also unable to find their winning goal and will need to step up in this game.
The previous match between the two teams took place last week and ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams ended the match with ten men and will need to be more robust this week.

Midtjylland vs Celtic Prediction
Celtic were given a shock by West Ham's 6-2 victory over the weekend and cannot afford another debacle in this fixture. The Scottish outfit has impressive players in its ranks but will have to present a robust front under Ange Postecoglou this week.
Midtjylland can pack a punch on their day and are perfectly capable of pulling off a positive result on Wednesday. Celtic are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Midtjylland 1-2 Celtic
