It might still be early days, but it seems FC Midtjylland may have found their stride, after a slow start to the new season.
A 5-1 routing of OB in the Superliga on Friday saw them pick their first maximum points after an opening day draw and a defeat in their second league game.
In the last four games played so far across all competitions, the team have not won in regular time – they beat AEK Larnaca in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round on penalties this week after drawing 1-1 even in extra time.

In the revival for FCM, Raphael Onyedika had been crucial and it can turn out to be his best season yet for the club, before stepping up to bigger things.
So far this season Onyedika has played the full duration of every game, the exception being in the UCL shoot out victory in Larnaca, where he featured for 114 minutes.
The 21 year-old last season, was voted the best Young player of the League and this term, he’s already showing the qualities of taking up bigger responsibilities.
FC Midtjylland manager Bo Henriksen trusts in the Nigerian, who is also rated one if the best Midfielders in Scandinavia.
Onyedika who has never gotten an National team invitation will be looking forward to Midtjylland’s next fixture, which comes up in the UCL on August 2 against Benfica.
