AGF Aarhus vs. FC Copenhagen Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between AGF Aarhus and FC Copenhagen, taking place on Sunday, 08 October 2023, at Ceres Park in Århus.
AGF Aarhus, Recent Form
The AGF Aarhus squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Viborg, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Viborg who had 10 attempts and 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 9 of their 10 games this season.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Patrick Mortensen will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in AGF Aarhus' 10 league games this season.
FC Copenhagen, Recent Form
Failing to acquire any points in their 2-0 home defeat by FC Midtjylland will have left the FC Copenhagen squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a 61% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to FC Midtjylland, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Jacob Neestrup will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 9 of their 10 games this season.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 7 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Diogo Gonçalves will be looking to cause AGF Aarhus some problems having scored 5 goals in FC Copenhagen's last 6 away games in the league.
