Midtjylland form and stats

The story so far in the Superliga for Midtjylland at their home stadium (MCH Arena) is 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. After failing to beat OB here at MCH Arena, Midtjylland has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Midtjylland are confident in defense, having played 294 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Midtjylland are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Sporting Braga. Midfielder Evander was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.33 (out of ten) in that game. Evander scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that, Midtjylland had a Superliga home game versus Randers which ended with a victory 1-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Midtjylland's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won two matches, drawn one and lost two.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (11 in 5 games), Midtjylland's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Midtjylland have conceded only 3 goals.

AGF form and stats

As the visiting team in Superliga matches, AGF have produced an overall stat of 1-1-2 so far.

The AGF goalkeeper Jesper Hansen is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 270 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The supporters enjoyed AGF's previous game versus SønderjyskE (placed 11th), a Superliga 1-0 win played at home. Jón Dagur Þórsteinsson, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.14. Þórsteinsson scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Frem at their stadium, the result 3-0.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of AGF when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing zero and winning one game.

Goals are few and far between in AGF's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. As opposed to that, AGF have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Data for the former ten meetings between these two squads are: five wins for Midtjylland, one draw and four wins for AGF. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
