All is not quite lost for Legia Warszawa as they head into matchday five in UEFA Europa League Group D needing a victory against Danish champions FC Midtjylland. • Midtjylland will finish second if they win and Club Brugge KV fail to beat SSC Napoli. • Legia will only remain in contention if they win and Club Brugge fail to collect three points. Previous meetings • Morten Rasmussen scored the only goal as Midtjylland beat Legia on matchday one. It was the sides' first meeting and Midtjylland's first encounter with Polish opponents. • Legia's five games against Danish teams have ended W1 D2 L2 (W1 L1 in Poland). Form guide • Legia picked up their only Group D point to date at home to Club Brugge on matchday three. • Midtjylland won their first two Group D contests, but then lost 4-1 at home and 5-0 away to Napoli – the latter result the heaviest away defeat in their European history. • Legia have made it to the round of 32 in two of their three UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns. • This is Midtjylland's first UEFA group stage campaign. Trivia and links • The journey from Herning to Warsaw is just under 900km. • Midtjylland are one of ten sides in the group stage who qualified for Europe this season as domestic champions, along with KF Skenderbëu (Albania), Qarabağ FK (Albania), APOEL FC (Cyprus), FC Viktoria Plzeň (Czech Republic), KKS Lech Poznań (Poland), FK Partizan (Serbia), Celtic FC (Scotland), Molde FK (Norway) and FC Basel 1893 (Switzerland). • Midtjylland (literally: central Jutland) were formed in 1999 with the merger of Ikast fS and Herning Fremad BK. • Midtjylland boast Polish talent in the form of goalkeeper Patryk Wolański, formerly on the books at RTS Widzew Łódź – where his team-mates included Legia defender Łukasz Broź. • Legia striker Marek Saganowski has some experience of Danish football, having spent the first half of the 2008/09 season on loan at Aalborg BK. The 37-year-old can make his 50th UEFA club competition appearance in this game. The coaches • Stanislav Cherchesov replaced Henning Berg as Legia coach on 6 October. The former FC Spartak Moskva and Russia goalkeeper led Spartak through the 2007/08 UEFA Cup group stage and repeated the feat with FC Dinamo Moskva last season, his side winning all six games. • Midtjylland boss Jess Thorup played in Germany and Austria as a forward. He made his name as a coach at Esbjerg fB, where he won a Danish Cup before taking Denmark to the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championships. Midtjylland hired him this summer.
