Insights:
  • AGF have the fewest points from losing position (1) in Superliga

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Nordsjælland have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-10-13 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
