FC Midtjylland faced a difficult task when they were paired with Turkish team Besiktas for the second round of the Europa League qualifiers.
FC Midtjylland might have faced FC Twente, Tromso, or Hammarby, but the Turkish team was one of the hardest opponents they could have faced.
Istanbul will host the first leg. The return leg will take place in Herning one week after the first leg, which is set for July 23.
In order to advance to the league phase of the Europa League, FC Midtjylland must first pass the third qualifying round and the playoff round if they are successful in winning both legs on aggregate.
