Aarhus Preview – Can Aarhus take the victor’s spoils?
Aarhus finished the regular Danish Superliga season in 3rd place and a massive 14 points above their Europa League play-off opponents, Odense, who have qualified for this final via a rather elongated and protracted play-off system, while Aarhus finished 3rd in the Championship group behind Copenhagen (who qualified for the Europa League qualifiers proper), so Aarhus have to play a domestic play-off for the right to participate in the Europa League qualifiers proper – clear?
Aarhus finished the regular season with a home record of 7-3-3 22/13 and although they lost last time out at their Ceres Park, the hosts have lost just two of their last 11 matches which includes a 1-0 win against their play-off opponents, Odense, back in early June.
In addition, Aarhus have held the upper hand in previous exchanges in recent times against Odense as the hosts have won each of the last three meetings, two of which have been at home in the Superliga (1-0) and the Danish Cup (1-0).
Midfielder Thorsteinsson (8 goals) and forward Mortensen (17 goals) look the most likely for Aarhus.
Odense Preview – Can Odense pull off upset?
It’s taken Odense a total of 36 matches across the regular season, Relegation round and quarter-final and semi-final play-offs to reach this Europa League play-off final against Aarhus in what has been a long drawn-out process for the visitors.
Odense finished the Danish Superliga regular season in 9th place which meant they dropped into the Relegation round group where they finished top of the group stage. They progressed to the play-off stages where they beat Randers 3-2 on aggregate and a 4-2 aggregate win over Horsens to qualify for this final.
But although Odense have won two of their last three matches overall, these two wins were recorded on home turf at their Nature Energy Park while results away from home have been less than convincing in recent times as they’ve collected just one win from their last 12 matches on their travels.
