Beşiktaş hold a 1-0 aggregate advantage, have scored the only goal in the head-to-head, and have yet to concede in the current Europa League campaign. FC Midtjylland, by contrast, are still searching for their first goal and first positive result in this tie, though the switch to MCH Arena could rebalance the contest.
