AaB-SønderjyskE

Sunday 22/3 15.00

AaB (4th) will be very disappointed after the loss to minnows Hobro on Monday (1-0). AaB had to chance to catch Randers in 3rd place, but played a poor match, where midfield general Rasmus Würtz was severely missed. Würtz is suffering from a bothersome injury, and his return is uncertain (could be here, could be later). The positive news is the return of his normal back-up Thomas Augustinussen who returns from suspension. AaB are still not creating much offensively and are continuing to ride their luck with an above average scoring percentage (combined with an above average saving percentage). However, AaB are always strong at home and put in a good effort. SønderjyskE (8th) have lost two matches in a row (1-8) and must be wondering what happened. They had only lost three matches all season until then, but suddenly efficiency and stupid personal mistakes were against them. They are still a solid side and should be able to rebound. They will have to do it without the strong central midfielder Adama Guira who is banned. A problematic loss, but SønderjyskE managed to get a 1-1 draw in Parken the last time he was banned. SønderjyskE are typically strongest when playing away since they can practise their counter-attacking style, which will also be the case here.

This match is screaming under. None of the offensives have been spectacular lately (we know AaB have scored a few goals, but mostly from splendid long-range efforts). SønderjyskE will be cautious defensively after letting in eight goals in two matches, and we should see them be very focused on the defensive organisation.

Idea: Under 2.5 goals – 1.72 at Nordicbet

UPDATE: Würtz set to return for AaB. Good news for the home team.
