Aarhus have shocked everyone by lifting the Danish title for the first time in four decades and the whole country is buzzing with pride. The win opens the door to Champions League qualifying and just one round stands between them and the league phase. The lads are short on European nights lately but they will be fired up to make their mark and show they belong at this level.
Lech Poznan on the other hand walk into this tie with plenty of continental know how after reaching the Conference League last eight last season. They kicked off their new campaign by lifting the Polish Super Cup with a 3 1 win over Gornik and have now gone twelve games without defeat across all fronts. Their attack has been sharp and only once did they fail to score in that run.
Team Form
- Aarhus lifted the Danish crown after a long wait and enter the tie full of confidence
- Lech have won twelve straight matches including the Super Cup triumph
- The Polish side reached the Conference League knockout stages last term
- Aarhus have very little recent experience in European ties
Tactical Analysis
Aarhus will look to play with high energy and press hard from the front to unsettle Lech early. Their defensive shape could be tested by the Poles quick transitions and set piece routines. Lech like to control the ball and use their wide men to stretch opponents so expect them to dominate possession in spells. Both sides have shown they can score on the road and at home so an open game looks likely.
Betting Proposal
With Aarhus desperate to impress on their big night and Lech carrying strong attacking form the chances of goals at both ends are high. The types point to an entertaining clash where both teams find the net. Both teams to score yes at 2.00 stands out as the value pick for this qualifier.
