Midtjylland are overwhelming favourites to win, but the 1.07 odds offer no value.

The standout bet is Both Teams to Score – Yes at 2.90, where the model's 55% probability far exceeds the 34.5% implied by the odds, creating a +20.5 point edge.

Context

Midtjylland's short turnaround and unresolved defensive injuries create selection uncertainty for their cup opener.

Sundby play in the Danish 3rd Division, the fourth tier of Danish football.
In their last six matches, Sundby have lost four times, including a 2-0 defeat to Ringsted on August 29 and a 3-1 loss to Brønshøj on August 8. They have conceded at least two goals in each of those four losses, which suggests they may struggle to contain Midtjylland's attack.
- Lost 2-0 to Ringsted on 2026-08-29.
- Lost 3-1 to Brønshøj on 2026-08-08.
- Lost 2-1 to Holbæk B&I on 2026-08-15.
Midtjylland compete in the Danish Superliga, the top division in Denmark.
Midtjylland have won four of their last six matches, including a 2-0 win over Aarhus on September 2 and a 4-1 win over HNK Rijeka on August 27. They have scored at least two goals in each of those victories, showing a consistent attacking threat.
- Won 2-0 against Aarhus on 2026-09-02.
- Won 4-1 against HNK Rijeka on 2026-08-27.
- Won 1-0 against Randers FC on 2026-08-23.
Sundby's defensive record has been poor in recent weeks.
Sundby have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six matches, including four goals against Hørsholm-Usserød on August 22 and three against Brønshøj on August 8. This defensive vulnerability could be exploited by Midtjylland's attack.
- Conceded 4 goals against Hørsholm-Usserød on 2026-08-22.
- Conceded 3 goals against Brønshøj on 2026-08-08.
- Conceded 2 goals against Ringsted on 2026-08-29.
Midtjylland enter the Betano Pokalen third round as defending champions.
Their title defence begins with an away tie against third-division Sundby, making progression the immediate requirement. The club's own framing of the fixture as the start of that defence underlines the knockout incentive for their approach and selection priorities.
- FC Midtjylland described itself as the defending cup champion ahead of Thursday's match.
- The club identified Sundby, from Denmark's 3rd Division, as its opponent in the competition's third round.
- The club confirmed the fixture at Sundby Idrætspark on 10 September.
