AGF Aarhus
- AGF Aarhus will be a bit disappointed that they have only managed to win 3 of their last 5 matches, as they drew 1 and lost 1 during that sequence, but the defeat was away from home against Union St.-Gilloise (2-1).
- Back at Ceres Park Vejlby, Jakob Poulsen's side are undefeated in 6 (W4, D2) and beat Motherwell 4-0 last time out.
Brondby I.F.
- Brondby I.F. have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 outings, although the 3-3 draw with FC Nordsjaelland and 2-1 loss to Hibernian last time out suggests that they are perhaps looser than they should be for such a big game.
- The visitors have won 2 and lost 2 of their 4 away matches in all competitions.
Recent meetings
- AGF won the last head-to-head game 2-0 (A) and are unbeaten in the last 2 (W1, D1).
- AGF Aarhus are unbeaten at home in 6 games across all competitions (W4, D2).
Tactics & trends
- AGF build from a back three into 3-4-3 or 3-5-2, using the width of the wing-backs to good effect and playing a patient possession game that gets the ball into the right areas at the right time.
- Brondby want to play on the front foot, pressing aggressively and looking to transition quickly, so this should be a game of patient control vs all-out urgency.
Numbers to note
- AGF are a slight favorite at 2.2, but we'll give it a bit of room in the odds by taking the goals.
- AGF score an average of 2.50 goals per game and concede an average of 0.67 at home across all competitions.
- Brondby have scored five goals in four away games across all competitions.
- Over 2.5 goals comes in at 1.65 and looks like a great bet if Brondby can force turnovers and AGF score on the counter attack through their wide overloads.
Prediction
We fancy AGF to do just enough to eke out a victory here given their current home form and the recent edge in the head-to-head, although Brondby's pressing game could certainly make this a interesting matchup.
