FC Midtjylland-AaB

Sunday 23/11 19.00

FC Midtjylland (1st) are cruising at the moment. They are 10 points ahead of the nearest rival, and winning everything at the moment (even the tight matches). We believe that they have dropped their performance level over the past matches. It has not been champagne football, but more a matter of having the individualists to score a goal or two (at the moment a player like Sisto is red hot). FC Midtjylland could improve with the return of winger Sylvester Igboun from suspension. He should surely add some extra offensive power. FC Midtjylland are not without concerns. Central defender Patrick Banggaard and offensive midfielder Petter Andersson are suspended. Both are quality players, and although FC Midtjylland have a strong bench they will be difficult to replace. The situation is really problematic if the doubtful players, right back (and captain) Kristian Bach Bak and central midfielder Jakob Poulsen are out as well. AaB (4th) have played some quite disappointing football (compared to last season), but have managed to get a pretty decent amount of points for it. AaB have struggled a lot offensively with creating chances. In the last couple of matches AaB have improved somewhat. It is also worth noticing that the right back Henrik Dalsgaard has found his old form, and he is a great offensive contribution with his runs down the flank. AaB’s strong central midfielder Kasper Risgård limped off the field in a midweek cup win. It will be problematic if he is out (no news on this though).

FC Midtjylland have more concerns than AaB for this match. If influential players like Poulsen and Bak are out FC Midtjylland could find this match very difficult. The odds for AaB are not exactly fantastic, but a small wager on AaB not to lose could be interesting if you are looking for a late Sunday bet. The odds for under do also seem to be a bit overpriced here.

Ideas: 2 (AH +0.5) – 1.92 at Bet365

Under 2.5 goals – 2.28 at Unibet

UPDATE: Jakob Poulsen and striker Morten Duncan are out for FC Midtjylland. Should increase value remarkably.
