Prediction FC Midtjylland vs Celtic 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Europa League on 06/11/2025

Midtjylland’s fortress at MCH Arena meets Celtic’s roller-coaster run

The Europa League returns to Herning and the script coming out of the data is hard to ignore: FC Midtjylland arrive as the group pacesetters and in brilliant domestic form. Three wins from three in the group stage — eight goals scored and only two conceded — underline a side that is both efficient in attack and disciplined at the back. Their recent run in all competitions speaks volumes: victories over Silkeborg, Fredericia and a tidy 3-0 away win in Maccabi Tel Aviv, sandwiched with a 1-1 draw against AGF just days before this continental date. The statistical picture backs up the eye-test; Midtjylland boast five clean sheets at home and a defense that has been stingy inside their own stadium, conceding just once at home in the dataset provided.

Celtic arrive with a mixed ledger. Three Europa League games have yielded one win, one draw and one defeat — three goals for, four against — and a domestic cup semi-final against Rangers that went to extra-time on November 2. That result gives Celtic momentum but also raises questions about recovery and consistency: their last ten results show swings, and they have registered zero clean sheets in the provided away stats. Attack numbers for the visitors are modest across the dataset, and while Celtic can produce moments of quality, the pattern here is of a team that has been less reliable away from home in this snapshot.

Tactical and statistical edges

Numbers tilt the needle toward the hosts. Midtjylland produce higher averages in shots, chances and dangerous attacks at home, while Celtic’s attacking output is slimmer in total shots and goals in the group. The bookmakers mirror this: Midtjylland are the favorites at 2.08, with a near 48% implied probability in the latest market, while the draw sits at 3.55 and an away win at 3.35. Given Midtjylland’s tendency to keep clean sheets at home and Celtic’s absence of away shutouts in the supplied stats, the contest looks likely to be tight and decided by fine margins rather than an open goal-fest.

Value pick — what to back

Based on form, group context and the underlying defensive numbers, the clearest value in the data is a home victory for FC Midtjylland in the 1X2 market. The 2.08 price offers reasonable value for a Midtjylland side leading the group, strong at MCH Arena and with recent momentum. For bettors interested in goal-oriented strategy, the defensive indicators also suggest a lean toward under 2.5 goals, but the primary recommendation from this dataset is to back Midtjylland to win.
