Match Facts
This is FC Midtjylland’s first ever European match against a Spanish team, while Real Sociedad have never faced a Danish team themselves either.
Danish teams have won just two of their last 24 major European games against teams from Spain (D8 L14), with both wins coming via Aalborg BK in both legs of their 2008-09 UEFA Cup last 32 tie against Deportivo de La Coruña.
FC Midtjylland have reached the knockout phase of the UEFA Europa League twice previously, going out 6-3 on aggregate to Man Utd in the 2015-16 last 32 and losing 5-1 on aggregate to Sporting CP in the 2022-23 play-offs.
Real Sociedad haven’t won any of their last 13 major European knockout matches (D4 L9) since a 2-1 victory over fellow Spaniards Atlético de Madrid in November 1998 in the UEFA Cup.
There have only been eight goals via throw-ins in the UEFA Europa League this season but FC Midtjylland are responsible for two of them across their last two games. Real Sociedad are also one of five other teams to have scored via a throw-in.
