This time we have to advance, Slavia is not a top opponent, the Danes believe in retaliation

The media in Denmark are optimistic, although bookmakers are more of a Czech champion. The opening match in Prague did not say much. Slavia went to him as a favorite, but what was happening on the field was more about tactics and fights than about open football.

A goalless draw plays Jindřich Trpišovský’s team into the cards, but Midtjylland strives for a historic advance. “A draw of 0: 0 gave the Danish champion a very good basis for revenge. He played a balanced match with Slavia and with a little luck he could have won,” the Tipsbladet server analyzes.

“The wolves will not have a better chance of going to the Champions League than now,” the Danish media added, although they pointed out the strength of the Prague team. They notice Slavia’s start in the Czech league, when the defending champions managed the first five rounds without a defeat with a score of 18: 2.

According to the club’s statement, several players had minor scars before the weekend’s home match, but no one will be missing against Slavia in the “most important match in club history”.

“We preferred to save some. But we are in a good mood. It will be fifty to fifty against Slavia,” said coach Brian Priske. “Slavia is not a top team, we can advance through them,” added Bulgarian midfielder Božidar Krajev.

Captain Erik Sviatchenko drew attention to the strength of Slavia. “The little things will decide, a strong opponent is waiting for us. But we will try to be in the best possible form. We are confident, we have to manage it this time,” he said firmly.

“If we advance, I will be incredibly happy. Especially the anthem of the Champions League, which is magical, everyone will remember here,” Sviatchenko dreams of progress.

As for Slavia, for the Danish club, fifteen million euros for advancing to the basic group of the Champions League would mean a very significant improvement in the budget.

Prior to the European Cup match, coach Priske usually rotates the line-up on the domestic scene to have fresh players for an international match. It can be expected that a similar line-up will be expected against Slavia as last week.

Trpišovský, who set a virtually reserve eleven against Slovácko, apparently thinks similarly, when he made nine changes in the line-up compared to the match with Midtjylland, who also saved some players in the home game against Randers over the weekend. If Priske keeps spinning, the Pione Sisto express will start again on the bench.

The coach of the Danish national team, Kasper Hjulmand, has been watching this on the pitch in the last few years. “It’s too early to talk about it, but it turned out in a very good light,” he said.
