FC Midtjylland were eliminated in the same stage last year when they failed to beat Greek club Panathinaikos in the two-legged affair.

Now they are going to try and reach the group stages of the competition at the expense of Southampton.

They are certainly enjoying a good run of form in their recent games, going unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions and winning three in the process.

In the Superliga, they are currently at the top of the table with 13 points after five games, and hold a four-point lead over their closest rival SønderjyskE.

Meanwhile, The Saints have returned to the UEFA Europa League for the first time since they first featured back in the 2003-04 season.

They have already surpassed their previous achievement as they were eliminated in the first qualifying round of the competition more than 10 years ago.

Southampton battled Dutch outfit Vitesse in the third qualifying round this year, beating them 5-0 on aggregate to advance to the play-offs.

They are hoping that their fine start to their European campaign will continue with a win at home to FC Midtjylland.

However, looking at their form, Southampton have yet to win in their first two matches in the Premier League. They drew to Newcastle United before losing heavily to Everton at home.

Expect Southampton to try and turn things around against their European rival.
