SønderjyskE-AaB

Friday 13/9 18.30

SønderjyskE (9th) have been struggling lately, but got a good experience with the win in Randers in the last round. SønderjyskE did not impress though since Randers where at least as good despite playing 10 against 11 for nearly the entire match. SønderjyskE have been hit hard by injuries and suspensions, but things are getting better with the return of defender Jonasson and striker Bechmann. Still the list of injuries is quite long and therefore the depth is limited. Their last good performance is more than a month ago, and it will be interesting to see if their recent win improves their confidence. AaB (3rd) made a brilliant comeback against Brøndby in the previous round. Right back Dalsgaard who came in from the bench set up the win. He should be fit for a full match, which is a clear improvement. On the negative side is the injury concern regarding central defender Lasse Nielsen. Kenneth Petersen is the obvious alternative, but this will undoubtedly be a weakening.  AaB have looked solid in recent matches and especially their midfield has been proving that it is a great combination of routine and creativity.

SønderjyskE have been the weaker side in the last several matches and against an optimistic AaB, they might get their hands full. Add to this that SønderjyskE usually perform better when playing away (last season they averaged 1 point at home per game versus 1.5 points away), so no reason to give much credit to home field advantage. In our opinion the match should at least be rated equal by the bookies and in that sense 2.90 contains clear value: our tip of the week!

Tip of the Week: 2 – 2.90 Mermaidbet

UPDATE: Lasse Nielsen is ready to play. Dalsgaard reportedly doubtful. He is important offensively, but his defensive skills will not be missed since Kristensen is a good cover. SønderjyskE still with several players missing. Bet still with good value - surprising to see odds 3.00 available right now (Thursday at 8 PM)
