Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Odense Q W and Midtjylland W have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. After the loss, a lot of questions began to be raised about their different approach to preparing for the game.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome.

More than just three points is on the line at the home ground — this is a fixture that could shape the narrative of both clubs' seasons.
