FC Midtjylland is gearing up for their final pre-season friendly on Friday afternoon, where they will host OB at MCH Arena in Herning. This match comes on the heels of a comprehensive away victory against Cardiff City in Wales, as the new campaign is fast approaching.
Injury Updates and Starting XI
Unfortunately, Junior Brumado will be absent from the squad due to a serious knee injury. Additionally, both Mikel Gogorza and Mads Bech Sørensen are sidelined with injuries as well. Despite these setbacks, FC Midtjylland will look to put forth a strong lineup for the match against OB.
The starting XI for the game will be: Elias Olafsson; Han-beom Lee, Ousmane Diao, Rasmus Nissen Kristensen, Victor Bak; Philip Billing, Pedro Bravo, Valdemar Byskov; Friday Etim, Franculino, and Dario Osorio. The substitutes include Nordin Bakker, Abdou Aziz, Djé Beni, Kjell Wätjen, Sofus Johannesen, Denil Castillo, Stanley Iheanacho, Gue-sung Cho, and Julius Emefile.
Admission to the game is free, but attendees must obtain a ticket in advance to secure their spot. The Faxe Kondi stand will be open, offering unreserved seating for fans eager to support their team.
It’s worth noting that the format for the match has been adjusted from the originally planned three periods of 45 minutes to two halves of 45 minutes. This change was made due to OB’s inability to field a squad for the longer format. As the pre-season comes to a close, both teams will aim to finalize their preparations and build momentum heading into the competitive season.
With the excitement building around this final friendly, fans can look forward to an engaging match that promises to showcase the talents of both FC Midtjylland and OB. Whether you’re a die-hard supporter or new to the sport, this match is not to be missed!
