Having ended the 2016 and 2017 season as league champions, it must have hurt really bad for Copenhagen to see themselves in fourth position this season. In truth, they never really threatened the top two teams, but this game offers them the chance to finish the season in a European place.
If Copenhagen can beat this Aarhus side that finished the season in the tenth position, they can finish in a Europa League spot. Judging by how easily they have dispatched teams on their home turf this season, that shouldn’t be too much to ask of them.
Aarhus come into this game still struggling defensively like they did when both sides met the last time, and they would need to be better than they have been in recent weeks to get a result in this game. The last time they visited this venue, they conceded 4 times.
The hosts, who come here having conceded at least once in all but one of their last ten matches, have been by no means secure defensively this season, so the visitors, who have scored plenty of goals recently, won’t hesitate to have a go. Profiting offensively may not be beyond Aarhus, though keeping things tight at the back is likely to be a step too far, especially since they’ve struggled to hold off lesser opposition in recent weeks.
