In the finals of the Europa League play-off final on Friday, starting at 18:00, FC Copenhagen – Aarhus will be played. The confrontation will take place on Telia Parken.
Due to rather modest evolutions, the hosts missed direct qualifying in the Europa League. With just two points in the last four stages and a single goal scored in this period, Copenhagen was overtaken by Nordsjaelland. The final difference between the two teams was just one point. Unmatched in the European Cups of 2001, he must now take a fight to get tickets for the Europa League. In the last five games played on his own ground he scored three victories, a draw and a defeat. In four of them there were scored goals in both gates.
On the other hand, the guests qualified in the play-off final after they won at Sonderjyske, scoring 2-0. If in the first hand they escaped victory after having a two-goal lead, this time they came with the lessons prepared. Backman and Pusic scored decisively in minutes 45 + 1 and 47. Although it was subjected to a real siege, Aarhus resisted to the end, finishing for the first time in the last 10 free games. Thus, he now has the chance to qualify for the first time in 2012 in a European Cup. At the last event, he was eliminated from the Europa League since the second qualifying round of the Georgians at Dila Gori, with a 2-5 overall score. In the last five trips, AGF has won four victories and a defeat. In four of them he managed to score at least two goals.
In the last direct confrontation, Copenhagen was forced to score 1-0. It was the seventh consecutive success. Aarhus did not win any victory in the last 20 straight games.
PREDICTION: FC Copenhagen to win @ 1.45
