AGF form and stats

When playing at home in the Superliga, AGF have managed 2 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 6 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Ceres Park & Arena.

AGF are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Midtjylland. As you see from the result above, AGF suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. AGF lost the game against Midtjylland in the first half with a 0-4 deficit and could never come back from that. The attacker Patrick Mortensen was named "man of the match" for AGF with a rating of 7.03/10.

Before that, AGF had a home game versus SønderjyskE which ended with a victory 1-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with AGF perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with AGF as a small favourite), we find eleven games. AGF has won five of these, drawn four and lost two.

AGF are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. AGF's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

AaB form and stats

Playing away, AaB have won 2 games, drawn 3 and suffered 1 defeat in the Superliga this season.

Impressive finishing from Iver Fossum (2), Louka Prip and Milan Makarić secured the home win 4-0 against SønderjyskE in their previous game. As you can tell from the results above, AaB was very dominant against SønderjyskE, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Iver Fossum (2), Louka Prip and Milan Makarić providing the goals. Midfielder Iver Fossum was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 9.15. Fossum scored two goals and hit three key passes.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Brøndby wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
