Viborg-AGF

Sunday 27/4 14.00

Stakes are high in this clash between the two worst teams of 2014. Viborg (12th) have only managed to win one match under coach Skarbalius (out of ten). Based on our stats for ability to create chances, Viborg are also by far the weakest team in the league. They will therefore need their offense to be efficient to survive. This is not made easier by the suspension to strong offensive midfielder Wilton Figueiredo and the goalless period of league top goalscorer Thomas Dalgaard (has not scored in last three matches). Viborg will welcome Aleksandar Stankov back from suspension and the offensive midfielder could maybe add some spark to a Viborg team that has failed to impress under Skarbalius. AGF (10th) last six games have resulted in six losses with a goalscore of 1-12 (notice that AGF have only met teams from top 7)! AGF really lack quality players at the moment, and the few they have are bothered by injuries. Defender Anders Kure is very doubtful for this match, while midfielder Danny Olsen is more likely to play (but has not been able to train for weeks). Right back Alexander Juel Andersen is suspended, so AGF will be forced to invent since they have no other natural right backs in the squad. This is surely not the best build-up for the match. Nevertheless AGF should find comfort in the way the played against Brøndby (1-2) where they had chances for more than one goal and showed some passion for once. Especially the return of veteran Martin Jørgensen was vital. AGF will be arranging cheap busses to Viborg so the away team will probably find more support from the stands than the home team.

It is two teams that have been remarkably poor in 2014. A draw seems very likely, but we actually believe that the bookies have been too tough on the away side. For us this is a fifty-fifty match, especially when having in mind that AGF’s performances have been better away than at home.
