KuPS take on FC Midtjylland at the Kuopio Football Stadium in their must-win second-leg match of their UEFA Europa League 2025-26 qualifying playoff tie on Thursday (August 28, 205). Here's all you need to know about the KuPS vs Midtjylland football match.
Jarkko Wiss's Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS) had entered the playoff round with momentum, having defeated FK Rīgas FS over two legs in the third qualifying round. But the Finnish side now face a steep challenge after suffering a 4–0 defeat in the first leg in Herning.
The Canaries will need a historic performance to overturn the deficit, while Midtjylland aim to seal their place in the group stage with composure and control.
Midtjylland, meanwhile, cruised past Fredrikstad and Hibernian in earlier rounds, showcasing their European pedigree. In the first leg, Thomas Thomasberg's team outfit dominated KuPs, with goals from Adam Buksa, Dario Osorio, and a brace from Junior Brumado.
The Danish club reached the Round of 32 in the 2015-16 season, famously defeating Southampton before falling to Manchester United. KuPS, on the other hand, have never reached the group stage, with their deepest run being the playoff round – making this current tie one of their most significant European outings.
Historically, the two clubs have had limited head-to-head encounters, with Midtjylland holding the upper hand in their recent clash.
