Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Midtjylland & AaB face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Landspokal Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Midtjylland and AaB.
Midtjylland form and stats
Last season their Landspokal Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals against SønderjyskE.Midtjylland have been very solid at home in the Superliga so far, with 18 points collected from 7 matches (6-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table. Ever since the OB game Midtjylland has been unbeatable here at MCH Arena producing six straight wins.
The Midtjylland supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host SønderjyskE in Superliga and win 3-2. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of B. Henriksen when Mads Hansen scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 77th minute. A late climax in the match against SønderjyskE as the winning goal came six minutes into overtime; scored by Mads Hansen. Pione Sisto, a natural forward, was the top performer for the team in that game, earning a rating of 8.44 (out of 10). Sisto served one assist, hit six key passes, dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times and had 39 successful passes (of 47 total).
Before that, Midtjylland drew at home versus Crvena Zvezda.The manager B. Henriksen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Randers in only three days.
Midtjylland are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (18 goals in 7 games). From these home matches, Midtjylland have conceded only 5 goals.
AaB form and stats
They also participated in Landspokal Cup last season. This ended in the 8th finals.Playing away, AaB have won 2 games, drawn 3 and suffered 2 defeats in the Superliga this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, AaB are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Superliga home defeat versus Viborg with 2-5 on the scoreboard. As you can tell from the result, the match against Viborg was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? The attacker Louka Prip got a match rating of 7.82 in that game. Prip scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
It was a Superliga defeat before that one as the away game against AGF wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Superliga trip to Nordsjælland.
The visiting AaB have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 7 games. As opposed to that, AaB have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
