At this stadium, the history of direct clashes is favorable to the visiting team, which has 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 9 matches. Indeed, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 19‑02‑2021, in a match for the Superligaen, Midtjylland won by (0‑2). The goals of the match were scored by S.

In this match, the home factor can play an important role, as both teams have significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.
The home team comes to this 2 nd round after a draw in their debut, against København, by (2‑2). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when they play in front of their fans, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 22 conceded, against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 home defeats, with 22 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Aalborg has a record of 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. The team has conceded goals to its opponent in 7 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have managed to score in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around 1 time.
AaB is not living its best moment, its victories have been rare and this prevents a possible evolution of the team. He started the Danish superliga with a draw and now at home, he is looking for his first 3 points. Therefore, we can wait for a team to adopt an offensive posture during the match. Another alternative that can be used by the owners of the house is to play on the opponent’s mistakes.
The away team comes to this 2 nd round after the loss in their league debut, against OB, by (1‑2). This is a stronger team when they play at their stadium, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in their stadium. The team comes to this match after an away draw against Celtic by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches in all competitions, Midtjylland has won 3, drawn 2 and lost 5. The team has conceded goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their attack has been scoring great regularity, as they have always scored at least one goal in the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have never been able to turn the score around in the 7 matches they conceded the first goal.
Like their opponent, Midtjylland has suffered because of the fluctuations, without being able to maintain a good streak of victories. Now, they are aware that they need the 3 points to start the competition well and should go after the opponent even playing away from home. Thus, Midtjylland should not enter the field in this match just to defend.
