SønderjyskE-FC Midtjylland

Sunday 18/5 17.00

SønderjyskE (10th) should be home safe in the relegation race, although the use of an illegal player by Viborg has given AGF extra points. Nevertheless, only a giant defeat (4-5 goals) against FC Midtjylland can put SønderjyskE’s survival in doubt. SønderjyskE have been a positive experience this autumn and especially their offense has been excellent (they are the 4th most scoring in 2014). Loaned striker Rubin Okotie has been outstanding, scoring 9 goals in 14 matches. FC Midtjylland should be cautious around him! SønderjyskE will be without regular left-winger Johan Absalonsen, but he is the only absence of importance. FC Midtjylland (2nd) risk losing their 2nd place and Champions League spot if they lose to SønderjyskE. Motivation should be on top, but the results in the past few matches have not impressed (losing against FC Copenhagen and Brøndby). To make matters worse FC Midtjylland are without their strong left winger Sylvester Igboun (10 goals this season). Some doubtful players (left back Juelsgaard and central midfielder Andersson) have forced FC Midtjylland to call in extra players for tomorrow. If they are not playing FC Midtjylland look vulnerable.

SønderjyskE will not suffer a big defeat here. For that they are simply too strong. SønderjyskE have only lost one home match in 2014 and they should be able to avoid another defeat here if only the motivation is right. Odds 2.05 for 1X are okay against a motivated but poor performing FC Midtjylland without star winger Igboun. A draw would be excellent for both teams so you should also consider this option alone if you are willing to take more risk.
