Preview: Midtjylland W Hosts Dinamo Zagreb in Europa League Clash

HERNING, Denmark (Interstat) — A confident Midtjylland W side will look to capitalize on home advantage when it hosts GNK Dinamo Zagreb in a Europa League group stage match on Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026.

The Danish club enters the contest in strong domestic form, coming off a 3-3 draw with SK Brann on Jan. 22. Its recent run includes a decisive 6-0 league victory over Nordsjaelland and an impressive 3-1 home win over Celtic in this competition on Nov. 6. Midtjylland W has shown a potent attack, scoring three or more goals in four of its last ten matches across all competitions.

Conversely, Dinamo Zagreb arrives with inconsistent European results. While it delivered a commanding 4-1 victory over FCSB in its most recent outing on Jan. 22, that win is surrounded by heavy defeats. The Croatian side fell 4-0 at Lille and 3-0 at home to AD Ceuta FC in November. Its campaign has been marked by volatility, mixing high-scoring wins with lopsided losses.

The matchup presents a contrast in momentum. Midtjylland W has lost only once in its last eight matches in all tournaments. Dinamo Zagreb has struggled for consistency, particularly on the road in Europe.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Midtjylland W is a heavy favorite, projected to win 4-1.

Following this Europa League fixture, Midtjylland W returns to Danish league play, facing a key match against rivals FC Kobenhavn on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Thursday’s match kicks off at 6:45 p.m. local time (1745 GMT) at MCH Arena.
