FC Midtjylland-AGF

Sunday 9/12 17.00

FC Midtjylland (1st) did not exactly impress last round at FC Vestsjælland, but took the three points anyway from an own goal of Bozga. FC Midtjylland are clearly not as vicious as in the first matches of the season, but they have been struggling with inconsistency due to many of injuries. Compared to last weekend, the situation looks a bit better with the return of defensive midfielder Izunna and offensive midfielder Petter Andersson from suspension. Both are strong players that will add a lot of quality to the FC Midtjylland midfield. FC Midtjylland will however be without some strong players like central defender Erik Sviatchenko, offensive midfielder Jeppe Curth and probably also winger Rilwan Hassan. FC Midtjylland should primarily focus on their left wing, where the combination of left back Juelsgaard and winger Igboun should have a favourable match-up (against an AGF John Doe and Juel Andersen). AGF (6th) were humiliated last weekend in Odense (4-1), where nothing worked for them. It has been like that for a few matches and with the relegation line just three points below, the situation is far from under control. Over the last five matches AGF have the league’s worst SoTR at 38.71% (they are being outplayed!). When we look into the numbers the main reason is that AGF give away too many chances. In the last match the absence of their best central defender Kure and first keeper Rasmussen magnified the effect. Rasmussen is not fit for this match, his replacement Ousager is not at the same level (and poor keeping allowed the first goal against OB). Kure is doubtful (not called up for cup match). AGF will be playing a tough cup quarterfinal on Thursday against AaB and if this match goes for 120 minutes, AGF could face some physical strains Sunday.

Although FC Midtjylland are not in top form, we believe that they possess the quality to overcome a struggling AGF team. 1.92 for a home win is a fine offer and we take it.
