Aalborg are heavy favorites against plucky Middelfart
The AaB Aalborg vs Middelfart prediction makes it clear that AaB are the strong favorites to beat struggling, near-relegation 1. Division team Middelfart in one of the first league meetings between the clubs this Sunday, but there is a strong case to take the visitors to avoid defeat.

Back the Bet365 double chance in case of draw
With Bjarne Pudel out for the rest of the campaign due to a knee injury, Højer has had to re-jig the defence and find other areas for the midfielders and forwards to compensate.
Aalborg can make it hard to stop them on their day with Oliver Ross bringing mobility and an attacking spark to wide areas, Kelvin John penetrating from midfield and Nicklas Helenius offering a target-man outlet up front.
The Dane bagged a brace in their 4-0 win over Hvidovre recently and is still the most reliable aerial target for the team.
Middelfart are much more methodical, with Kim Engstrøm preferring to set up his team in a compact block, build up with short, smart passes and press in only a few select areas.
The Danes are stubborn, well-drilled and should be able to frustrate the hosts, while their attacking threat is through set pieces and breakaways.
If you are looking for specific AaB Aalborg vs Middelfart betting tips, consider that both teams have vulnerabilities in defense but also the capacity to snatch a result with a set piece or counter-attack.
Middelfart a tough nut to crack
Mads Greve and Simon Trier are experienced and astute centre-backs who keep things disciplined and organised at the heart of the defense, while Mads Hansen is their goal-scoring midfielder and can hurt teams from set piece situations - having done so against Silkeborg in the cup.
Jerailly Wielzen is Middelfart’s other top-scorer this season and provides width and pace from the flank, but he will be tested by Aalborg’s wing-backs on Sunday.
AaB should have enough quality to snag the win in one of the first league meetings between these two clubs, but given Middelfart’s draw-heavy form - they have drawn four of their last five league games 2-2 - and the defensive frailties of the home team, they can edge this one.
This AaB Aalborg vs Middelfart prediction favors a narrow one-goal win for Aalborg, but they will have to earn it, and a 1-1 draw is plausible.
