Despite Aarhus's league lead, their head-to-head record weighs heavily: Midtjylland are unbeaten in 13 matches (8 wins, 5 draws). However, the key factor right now is the visitors' personnel shortage. Leading scorer Frankulina Dju (16 goals in 17 matches) is out, depriving the Wolves of their usual attacking prowess.
Aarhus is capitalizing on this momentum perfectly: four official wins in a row since the start of the year, the league's best defense, and a complete absence of players. However, their defense isn't flawless—in January friendlies, the team conceded two goals each to Kryvbas and Hobro. Even without Dju, the visitors retain scoring potential: in the Europa League, they produced a super-high-scoring shootout with Brann (3-3).
Given the hosts' form and the favorites' weakening, it's entirely possible to end Midtjylland's dry run. An open game is expected: both sides are capable of scoring, but they won't be able to dominate defensively for long.
