Midtjylland

Midtjylland only four times in history became the champion of Denmark, but all four titles have been in the last decade. This season, the Wolves spend in the status of the current winner of the national championship, and therefore are trying to defend the title won last season. For a long time they were in the sole leaders of the Super League, but in the last seven rounds allowed four defeats with three wins, and therefore are now located on the second line in the standings.

The Danes failed to qualify for the Champions League, so they slipped into the Europa League. At the general stage of the tournament they started productively: a draw with Hoffenheim - 1:1, victories over Maccabi and Union - 2:0 and 1:0, respectively. Then they lost to Steaua - 0:2, Eintracht - 1:2, Porto - 0:2, spoiling themselves. At the finish line they managed to defeat Ludogorets - 2:0, and also shared points with Fenerbahce - 2:2, and therefore in the composite standings they took the 20th place, making their way to the round of 32.

For the upcoming match Midtjylland approaches without the main goalkeeper. Elias Rabn Olafsson was injured and missed the last games. In addition, midfielder Christopher Olsson and forward Jo Hyo-sung have been in the club's infirmary for a long time.

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad has started to regress in the last couple of years. After a splendid 2022/23 season, when San Sebastian managed to finish in the top-4 of the Primera Division and qualify for the Champions League, they slumped and finished last season in sixth place. In the current round of the national championship they started extremely badly and for some time went in the group of outsiders, then began to improve the situation, but in the last four rounds lost three times, and therefore fell to seventh place.

At the general stage of the Europa League “blue and white” played with mixed success. In eight rounds, they got four wins, beating Maccabi 2-1, Ajax 2-0, Dynamo Kyiv 3-0, and PAOK 2-0. They earned another point for a 1-1 draw with Nice. At the same time, there were defeats from Anderlecht - 1:2, Victoria - 1:2, Lazio - 1:3. With 13 points the team finished on the 13th line in the standings.

In winter, Real Sociedad refused to make any acquisitions, while giving away Jon Magunazelaya, Urko Gonzalez and Sadiq Umar on loan.
