Ajax will face the still undefeated leader of the Danish competition, who have impressed with their unbeaten streak in the first 13 league matches of the season. FC Midtjylland have shown remarkable strength, with Glen Riddersholm, a former champion with the club in 2015, praising their performance. "They are so strong, it's unbelievable," he said in an interview with TV2.
Riddersholm also highlighted the challenges FC Midtjylland have faced, including numerous injuries and the departure of key players. "They get a lot of recognition for what they achieve, it's absolutely impressive," he said. However, he also noted that the club's physical and direct playing style may not appeal to all football purists.
David Nielsen, a former player for FC Kopenhagen and Midtjylland, praised the club's data-driven approach to the game. "FC Midtjylland's playing style is based on data and hard facts," he said. "They focus on specific players who excel in one-on-one situations."
