AaB-SønderjyskE

Sunday 27/10 14.00

AaB (2nd) missed out on a great chance to catch up on leaders Midtjylland by losing 3-0 in Parken last weekend. The result was not unusual. AaB have a tradition of getting beaten when they play there. AaB played a decent match and could (with a more friendly referee) possibly have claimed a point. Nevertheless, the match should not affect AaB much towards this match since the big picture has been good. They have a strong midfield and striker Jönsson is potentially a real goal getter. He has been struggling with a minor injury for some time, but hopefully he will be fully fit for Sunday. AaB will be without defender Ahlmann. Patrick Kristensen is the alternative, which is a slight weakening. SønderjyskE (12th) have been horrendous in recent matches. The last three matches have been one-sided defeats. Over the recent years SønderjyskE have had a solid backbone with individuals (Vibe and Antipas) to take care of the scoring. Now these individuals have left without good replacements and the backbone is not looking solid anymore. The end product is something very poor and combined with the absence of their only quality striker Tommy Bechmann, SønderjyskE are left in a critical state. AaB won the last match deservedly (away) 3-1 with a weaker team against a stronger SønderjyskE.

Despite of AaB’s traditional defeat in Parken, we believe that they have a lot more quality than struggling SønderjyskE. We believe that AaB stand at least a 60% winning chance with the main risk being own inability to score. SønderjyskE are not very dangerous at the moment especially since striker Bechmann is injured (highlighted by two of last three goals coming from penalties).
