Hibernian’s quest to reach the Europa League starts with a tough trip to Denmark on Thursday as they face Midtjylland at MCH Arena.

The Edinburgh outfit are big underdogs on the night and to qualify, but this tie may be more competitive than the odds suggest.

Midtjylland should be able to win the home leg but the better angle for this game could be backing both teams to score.

Midtjylland were held to a 3-3 draw against promoted Odense at home in their season opener on Sunday, fighting back from 0-2 and 2-3 to claim a point.

This is Hibs’ first game of the new campaign but goals at both ends was a regular feature in their fixtures towards the end of the previous campaign.

Both teams scored in each of their final four fixtures and that pattern has continued a little through pre-season with both teams scoring in three of their last four friendlies.

Hibs picked up a few decent results on the road last season as they won at Rangers in April and picked up victories at Aberdeen, Hearts and Dundee United over the course of the campaign.

They also scored in defeat at Celtic Park, and those results suggest they can at least get on the scoresheet in Herning.
