Aabenraa vs Midtjylland prediction 06.09.2023

• Competition: Landspokal Cup, 1/32-Finals
• Date: Wednesday, 6th September 2023
• Kickoff: 16:00 UTC +1 / 17:00 CEST
• Venue: Aabenraa Stadion (Aabenraa)

Aabenraa are playing in the sixth tier of Danish football in the jyllandsserien (pool 11) league. Currently, they are the league's leading team with nine points from five rounds. In this 1/32-Finals Landspokal Cup match, they will face Midtjylland at the Aabenraa Stadion. 

Midtjylland were among the best teams in Denmark in most years. Last season was one of their weakest seasons in recent years, but with a strong finish, they ended up 7th with 51 points from 32 rounds and secured Europa Conference League Qualifiers. Unfortunately for them, Legia stopped them in the Playoff Round, and they will focus on the domestic competitions this season. In the domestic league, they are 6th with 10 points after seven rounds.

Aabenraa vs Midtjylland pick: Midtjylland to win and cover the -2 AH spread

Aabenraa are doing fine in the league for now, but with ten allowed goals, they are one of the weakest teams in that category. So far, they haven't had a clean sheet in the first five rounds, and their inability to defend will surely be a big problem vs a highly-favored Midtjylland.

Midtjylland are not playing great at the moment, as they are on a five-game winless streak. But they faced very good opponents, and this game is the perfect opportunity to break that bad streak. For this game, they might rotate the squad, but we feel that the gap in quality is simply too big, and anything but a huge win for the away side would be a huge surprise. Also, last season, Midtjylland were one of the better road teams in Super Liga, losing just once in 16 rounds! So, they should have no problems winning this Cup game with a couple (or more) goals difference.
