FC Midtjylland enter this cup tie unbeaten in their last five competitive matches, winning three and drawing two while scoring 10 goals. Sundby have conceded 10 goals across their last five fixtures, showing defensive vulnerabilities that the visitors are well-equipped to exploit even with five reported absences.
Bayern München hold a decisive qualitative advantage at home, having won four of their last five matches and netting five goals in their previous home outing against Stuttgart. Bodo/Glimt face a difficult test compounded by five injury absences, including Hakon Evjen, Jostein Gundersen, August Mikkelsen, Magnus Riisnaes, and Isak Sjong. Given Bayern's offensive output and Bodo/Glimt's defensive record of two goals conceded per away fixture, the home side is strongly positioned to secure the victory.
PSV are unbeaten across their last five matches with four consecutive victories, demonstrating substantial offensive output. Shakhtar have been solid with four wins in five, but their 2-0 defeat to Polessya and the previous 3-2 defeat in Eindhoven point toward PSV having the edge on home soil.
Crvena Zvezda have maintained a flawless league campaign with six wins from six matches, scoring 18 goals and conceding just two. While Radnik Surdulica are unbeaten at home in four games, the historical record shows Crvena Zvezda winning six of their last ten encounters and possessing vastly superior firepower across the pitch.
SC Braga hold an unbeaten record against Estrela across seven previous meetings, claiming three wins and four draws. In the current league campaign, Braga remain without defeat through three matches with two wins and one draw. Estrela have drawn three of their four league games, having yet to secure a home victory this season with two 2-2 draws on home soil against Sporting CP and Famalicao.
Despite notable absences across their defensive and midfield units, Manchester United have demonstrated scoring firepower at home, putting five past Ipswich. Covering the home win or draw accounts for their offensive threat while providing protection against defensive lapses.
Dynamo Kyiv have recorded positive results on their domestic travels, including a 2-1 victory over Veres Rivne. Even with some recent inconsistency, their attacking pedigree provides ample opportunity to win at least one 45-minute period against a Nyva Vinnytsya defence that has conceded in four of their last five matches.
Panathinaikos have displayed strong form across all competitions, winning four consecutive matches and opening their league season with consecutive victories over PAOK and Levadiakos. Kifisia have struggled on the road, suffering a 2-0 loss at OFI in their lone away league match. With Panathinaikos having won two of three home head-to-head meetings and remaining unbeaten in that span, the home side holds a decisive advantage.
All five of Roma's previous five fixtures have seen three or more total goals, including high-scoring results against Lecce (4-0), Fiorentina (4-0), and Borussia Dortmund (2-2). Fenerbahçe have also seen high totals recently, such as a 4-2 win over Konyaspor and 2-1 scorelines against Lyon and Beşiktaş, making a match total above 2.5 goals well supported by recent match profiles.
Como are undefeated in their last five outings across all competitions, including wins over Napoli and Genoa. In contrast, RB Leipzig have dropped three of their last five matches, with away defeats at Leeds, Bayern Munich, and Werder Bremen highlighting defensive vulnerabilities on the road. Backing the hosts to secure at least a point reflects both their solid form and Leipzig's recent travel difficulties alongside notable player absences like Lukeba and Baumgartner.
