Bet Builder Tip For Hibernian vs Midtjylland

As Hibernian prepare to host Midtjylland in the decisive second leg of their Europa League qualifier, there’s an enticing opportunity to construct a smart Bet Builder combining three markets with genuine value.

The first-leg draw in Denmark left the tie finely balanced, but with key tactical and statistical insights favouring the visitors, this trio of selections presents a compelling angle for punters looking to extract the most from Thursday night’s action at Easter Road.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Hibernian vs Midtjylland, which has been placed with Bet365:

🥇 Selection One: Midtjylland to Win

Despite a 1-1 draw in the first leg, the Danish visitors are well-positioned to edge this return fixture. Midtjylland displayed their attacking threat in Herning, growing into the game after conceding early and eventually equalising with a thunderous strike from Aral Simsir. Since then, Thomasberg’s side dismantled Sonderjyske 6-2 in their domestic league—underlining just how lethal they are going forward.

They have lost just once in their last six outings across all competitions and looked sharp in transition, particularly when the match opens up. Midtjylland’s attacking pair, Franculino and Buksa, have been ruthless, with the former netting five goals in just two league games so far this season. In contrast, Hibernian are still settling into competitive action, having won only one of their five pre-season matches before this European run began.

While Hibs are tough to beat at home, the step up in quality represented by Midtjylland is evident. The Wolves have European pedigree and a tactical maturity that gives them the edge here. Add in the fact that Hibs are missing key players like Joe Newell and Lewis Miller, and it becomes increasingly likely that the visitors will outclass their Scottish counterparts over 90 minutes.

🏁 Selection Two: Midtjylland to Have Most Corners

One often-overlooked area where Midtjylland could excel is in the corner count. Their high-tempo, aggressive approach naturally leads to wide play and shot creation, particularly from overlapping full-backs like Kevin Mbabu and attack-minded wingers such as Simsir and Etim. Against Sonderjyske, they managed 13 corners, consistently forcing pressure down both flanks.

In comparison, Hibernian have a more pragmatic, reactive setup. Even at home, they’re not a side that floods the final third. Their wing-backs, Cadden and Obita, are often pinned back by quicker opponents, meaning Hibs tend to concede territory rather than dominate it.

Midtjylland are also likely to control possession and tempo, especially with midfield technicians like Pedro Bravo and Dario Osorio in the line-up. Their ability to switch play and exploit space means they should rack up corner opportunities throughout the match, especially if Hibs drop deeper to absorb pressure.

Given the visitors’ recent corner statistics and Hibs’ tendency to allow width, backing Midtjylland to finish with the most corners is a solid addition to this Bet Builder.

⚽ Selection Three: Friday Etim to Score Anytime

One of the most interesting attacking threats likely to feature for Midtjylland is Friday Etim, a dynamic wide forward who could exploit the gaps left by Hibernian’s defence. The Nigerian winger is pushing for a start after an impressive showing in training and a strong pre-season. With Franculino likely to draw defenders centrally, Etim could find himself with the space and freedom to attack one-on-one situations on the flanks.

Etim’s directness and ability to cut inside make him a constant danger—especially against a Hibernian side that has shown vulnerability when pushed wide. Without Lewis Miller to reinforce their defensive width, Hibs will be relying heavily on makeshift cover in key areas. Etim’s pace and low centre of gravity are ideal attributes for exploiting that.

With Midtjylland expected to see more of the ball, Etim will get chances to run at defenders and get into the box. His technical quality and willingness to shoot from range or drive to the byline give him multiple avenues to impact the scoreline. If you’re looking for a goalscorer bet with longer odds but realistic value, Etim is an appealing option to complete this Bet Builder.
