Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, AaB in 5th and Nordsjælland in 8th place.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Superliga match only four days ago. That game was an away game at OB, so at least AaB are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
